I love this movie and i expect it to be one of those i will watch again now and then.

Solid performances all over, good lines, lots of laughs, naked women. I enjoyed every minute of it. I'm impressed that a movie like this can come out of virtually nothing. It all starts with a fake movie trailer and an idea of something that everyone's seen before. Tough guy's revenge against the villain who took away X's life. Blahblahblah. But the end result here is just brilliant.

Having said all that there is 1 thing i think could have been done better. Trejos character is pretty much a monkey with few lines and generally portrayed as a bit dumb. I can't help thinking he could have pulled off a slightly more interesting character. I totally realize he's supposed to be old school muscles and pulls that off well, but it's like they thought "hey this is going to be cheese with cheese on so don't bother".

That is not to say he's bad, I just can't help thinking there was a bit of potential that went unexplored.

Nonetheless a must-see!
