First off I am a fan of Mr Trejo, his niche film roles cast him as a "baddie" however this film I thought was refreshing. Finally a person who stands up for the good of people in a realistic manner. So I am a little biased - that said I gave it 7 from 10.
Yes scripts like this a common place and often over acted and over done from the moment they start to the moment they stop (looks at a couple of Wrestlers trying to make it in the film business.)
The thing that I liked about this film, unlike other films of this nature, you can see a person actually doing this and Mr Trejo performed the role as if he were that person. He certainly is Not an actor getting paid to have a glass eyed soulless character, who never runs out of ammo in his gun and has bullet proof skin to boot.
Now, before you go off half-cocked and say what about (insert you film name here) just watch the film. Sit back and watch it again if you need to, the way he waits for public transport, the way he walks into situations, they way he acts.
Some minor bits that are there for the film effects, but other than that a good film that kept me amused. There is humour and it amusing, it doesn't require swearing to get a smile either. As for the action and fighting, pretty much perfectly choreographed, but then he does know how to box very well. I'm not going to say what happens or who does what, just take the film for what it is and enjoy it, I certainly did and yes I would gladly watch it again.
