I really appreciate Danny Trejo in everything he does, or should i say more or less. The guy usually have good screen presence even when relayed to a supporting cast, or even close to an extra.But this movie... The general plot on paper does not sound bad at all. Classic... VERY classic sure, but there is plenty that could be done with it.But the execution is sloppy, like very sloppy, in everything. The story, the gunfights, the bare knuckles fights. Trejo does not look like a one man army on a mission like for example Liam Neeson in Taken, he just look like a tired old man and there is full of clichés that does not help its cause either. Like bad guy have could shoot him, but decide to for ... we don't know why? Its really one of those very low budget movie that really do not deserve a second look. I don't blame Trejo but really the production company and the director.Oh and i watched a dubbed version, and its really one of those super cheap dubbing in french, where you recognize every one of the voice actors, like there is a total of 10 people or less they employ in that company. And its really mediocre recording and "talents". So yeah this didn't help, but usually they pick very low budget cause if not for them we wouldn't get those movie anyway, as nobody would pick them. So well...

i love Danny Trejo i am so happy that he is the main role in movies i loved Machete, Dead in the Tombstone i luv the movies that he is main role this movie had action but i wish the action and movie should have been better it was a bit too short they should have release the directors cut in Australia but they didn't i have no clue i liked this movie the Action, The lead actor is Danny Trejo. I really appreciate him, I like his face and the way he is acting in action movies. He looks quite bad ass. Well, I prefer the "Machete" style, but he is OK at this movie, even as a cop. i know him becoming a bad guy to good guy because sometimes i get bored when he plays the bad guy all the time all the time Danny Trejo is good guy i wanted watch this movie because he is main role i luv movies with him as main role. the action scenes a bit of car chasing was awesome not much of car chase but it did good scene with he stabbed the guy in the eye with a becoming weapon pen in the eye that was awesome i didn't get the chance to see that in Machete Franchise the shooting was awesome in hotel area witch is awesome scenes specially he did a trap he put guy in the car 2 guys pulled him out the guy in car had a hand grenade behind him get Blown up very awesome not much gore shame ! i like the awesome car what Danny drives black car suits for this movie with this character fighting cage scene was awesome when Danny was fighting with the guy 70 years old man was doing push up witch is good to keep trejo fit Danny trejo should do more boxing movies like this cage fighting film couple of them were like that of his movies the fight was lucky awesome scene but there is gore in this movie not muchas Machete or Dead in the tombstone witch i like that better the Villains were (Johnathan Banks) from breaking bad was OK didn't do the best, villains are lame a bit i find them lame don't do much not much entering as Danny Trejo Character Bullet witch is trying to be like Machete to Bullet. movie has a very short storyline that is A tough cop takes the law into his own hands when his grandson is kidnapped. i mean it is kinda lazy needed more of movie and story Johnathan banks son died from lethal injection that's why he wanted to kidnapped grandson there is a lot gore in movie Johnathan had golf bat hit the guy thousands of times all blood went into the screen a lot of it witch was awesome the rest of scenes were like a bit poor made i like this movie for me 5/10 it could of have been better movie like Machete.

Danny Trejo is the reigning king of the B's. And I'll watch anything he's in, no matter how poorly-written, no matter how amateurishly-directed, and no matter how ridiculously, incoherently edited. And that's the sloppy road Nick Lyon haphazardly lays for the undemanding fan of very familiar plots. So if you really don't care about utterly absurd, incredibly illogical, and comically lazy story lines, the entry-level acting might not even register. But on the way to the traditional "Commando"-like action-movie denouement every 12-year-old boy expects, you'll ask yourself: Why is there always a long-haired, German super-villain lieutenant in organized crime? How did Frank Marasco's car just happen to be where he needed it? How can two bad guys with handguns out-shoot a squad of body-armored, assault- rifle-toting cops? Why am I watching this to the predictable end?Well, I can at least answer the last question: so you can hear Danny Trejo bark the immortal line, "This is America! Speak Mexican!"

Having seen many Trejo movies, and having loved many of them (not all mind you, just many), I was disappointed with this one.In order to make a old man into a larger than life figure, you need to pull off a small miracle. You need to bend and direct the audience's perception juuuuust right. Machete pulled it off, but Bullet simply does not. Danny does not truly appear as a larger than life character who takes charge and lives life dangerously, but instead as a nearly retired cop who has too many problems. I confess that I don't have the technical movie knowledge to adequately explain what I'm trying to say.I can only say that the movie felt.. like the illusion was empty.Trejo's movies are usually somewhat outlandish, heavy on the "grindhouse" style, and inventive. This film has none of that. It seems that the director decided to try making it more dramatic instead. The fun and vivacious extremity I was expecting was instead replaced with old cop movie clichés.The acting was poor because it tried too hard, the execution was plodding and halting. The special effects were disappointingly poor. It seems the director and editor had no concept of what I like to call "vicinity errors". These occur when the objects being used in the scene do not correctly stay in their places from scene to scene, or their behavior defies the common sense expectations of the viewers. Essentially, the area around the actors isn't correctly used. Bullets hitting their targets too long after being fired, objects being there one second and gone the next, or a character taking his hat off twice in the same scene without putting it back on in between.. These are vicinity errors and are usually are the result of bad editing. This movie has too many of them.It was not a bad film. It just simply didn't shine with any of the usual Trejo brilliance.
