Did you people see the same film I saw?

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Story line aside, the picture is stylistically and cinematically a visual treat. I guess there are some viewers who don't go for the dark and gritty look, but that only adds to the demonic flavor of Guerrero's (Danny Trejo) mission to take out the former members of his Blackwater Gang. I'm not too clear on why Red Cavanaugh (Anthony Michael Hall) turned his back on brother Guerrero, so that could have been spelled out a bit better.I guess if you wanted to make a demonic Western, you couldn't pick a better pair of leads than Trejo and Blacksmith Mickey Rourke. The scary part is that they look pretty much the same off screen. I liked the idea of the six pine boxes gimmick, and if you weren't keeping track, the outlaws went down as follows - Baptiste, Ramos, Darko, Washington, Snake and Red. Guerrero's execution of his fellow travelers followed a fairly typical formula, and I thought there should have been a little twist for not making the midnight deadline, but he was only off by two minutes. The film did everything it could to prove it's opening narrative - "The real West was a heartless, lawless vampire pit".

I like Danny Trejo but I prefer he played as a villain instead of the hero. After Machete, he rarely got antagonist role, including this film when he's the protagonist. Mickey Rourke and Danny Trejo playing together in one movie, so it's supposed to be something, right... In the mean time, let's bring back Danny Trejo to his roots of evil.

Review: This is your everyday western with a little twist. Basically, Trejo trades his soul for 6 others, with the devil who is played by Mickey Rourke. The storyline isn't totally bad, but the execution by the director is average. The acting isn't top class and the music is quite annoying, but what do you expect from a straight to DVD movie. There's loads of shot-outs and some of the scenes are pretty gruesome, but not unwatchable. I wasn't expecting that much when I hired this movie and I wasn't that surprised with the outcome. Average!Round-Up: Whenever you see Danny Trejo as the leading actor in a movie, you know that it's going to be a B class movie that hasn't got a massive budget or A class actors. He seems to be churning out loads of movies nowadays, but the older that he gets, the better his acting skills are getting. That's not to say that he's a top class actor, but at least he is becoming watchable. In the earlier times in his career, he always played bit parts alongside big names like Pacino and De Niro, but now he seems to be getting the bigger payday as the lead. He doesn't really have to say or do much in his movies because of his shear presence, which is why his movies will never be massive blockbusters. As for this movie, it's really what it says on the tin so don't expect anything out of the ordinary.Budget: $5.2million (WOW!) Worldwide Gross: N/AI recommend this movie to people who are into there Westerns about a gang whose hunted by there former leader. 3/10

Dead on Arrival, this DTV Movie is just Awful. Once again They hire an Epileptic Cameraman that is in Denial. The Vision is that anything is not worthy of being On Screen unless it is a Shaky Whip-Pan and Quick Cut. This results in Motion Sickness. Please, Hollywood take notice. Stop this Immediately. It does not and never has been anything but annoying. But yet it is used again and again even in Mega-Budget Action Movies. Listen Up from Outside the Bubble. It is not energetic or adrenaline inducing, it is Nauseating.This Movie suffers from much more than that. Mickey Rourke's Dialog seems Dubbed by a Line Reader with absolutely no Ability to do anything except Read Lines. The Intriguing Premise is totally Mishandled in what could have been an Exciting Genre Bending Movie.It is a Colorless Palette with nothing but Blacks and Bluish High Contrast. The whole Thing looks like a Video Game that Flopped. There is nothing here to Recommend and Fans of the Cult Favorite, Danny Trejo will check in only to find that this is nothing more than a commendable effort lost in a Wilderness of Woefulness.
