The Night Crew (2015)

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Bounty hunters Wade (Luke Goss), Crenshaw (Bokeem Woodbine), Rose (Luciana Faulhaber), and Ronnie (Paul Sloan) are hired to go into Mexico to rescue Mae (Chasty Ballesteros). They are transporting the Chinese girl back to the States when she runs off. Cartel king Aguilar (Danny Trejo) wants her back alive.The first half is a functional action B-movie. Danny Trejo is the obvious draw but he only has a supporting role. It's got the desert setting and what seems like a simple premise. Then it starts adding stuff and the movie struggles. It should have been so easy. It becomes muddled and bland. At some point, I stop caring.

Danny Trejo who is on the front cover is doing a cameo only. A bunch of bounty hunters crossed the Mexican border to bring back a mysterious girl who is going to testify against some cartel kingpin. We don't really care actually. It's poorly directed. They are supposed to be special ops team and they act like a bunch of amateurs during the siege in the motel. They scream "no" each time one of them is hit by a bullet. So cliché. The dialogs are horrible. "Promise me you will keep on going if I am going down". Totally forgettable.I don't even know if I can write 10 lines for this total garbage.

As far as indie action movies go, this one is definitely worth the time. The plot revolves around a team of bounty hunters protecting their captive from a group of border runners out to retrieve their fugitive for their boss, played by Danny TrejoIf you like guns, explosions, and eye candy to boot, this movie has plenty to offer from beginning to end. There are movies that seem like the action needlessly fades for some uninteresting subplot, but The Night Crew is not one of them. Once the bullets start flying, they only let up to reload for the next sequence.Luke Goss gives a fine performance in his role as Wade, the leader of the fearless team of bounty hunters. As always, he's as bad-ass as ever, with nary a smile for the audience...and thumbs up go out to the rest of his crew as well, played by Paul Sloan, Bokeem Woodbine, and Luciana Faulhaber. The Night Crew is Director Christian Sesma's best work to date. The action's intense, the pacing's good, and the scenes were beautifully shot. Overall, well worth the time.

I mean it's another one of Danny Trejo's more indie like movies similar to Machete but if your into action flicks this one is definitely worth giving a watch. The ending has a serious twist that you may or may not see coming (I didn't). The acting isn't the most spectacular, but c'mon it's a low budget action movie and you get what you pay for. I thoroughly enjoyed it, if you like the Machete series then I don't see why you wouldn't enjoy this. The plot revolves around a women connected to some big time cartel boss whom bounty hunters quasi-kidnap to take across the border for their bounty. Things don't necessarily go as planned and they maybe don't know enough about their bounty and or mission beforehand to accurately assess the situation and prepare accordingly. That's pretty much all you'll need to know, from there on its non stop firefights and fisticuffs with a little twist at the end.
