Reviews
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Michael Ledo Jimmy Greco (Grazi DiPaolo) boost (steals) cars in L.A. He works primarily with Roy (Danny Trejo) who he doesn't consider his boss. JImmy supplies us with some first person narration because the script is not that good. Jimmy steals a special car for Roy, which doesn't go well. This car had a kidney in it for Lorenzo (Rob Nagle) which we later find out it is for a little girl, something you might pick up from the Amazon/IMDB one line spoiler description of the film.The movie is not told in chronological or any logical order. Why a little girl needs one kidney on the black market to live is not explained nor is the fact she is not prepped and near the donor. Trejo and Rob Nagle are the only things close to actors in the film. Grazi DiPaolo was bad in the lead role as was most of the support cast, especially Justin Dray who couldn't deliver a convincing line.This is a crime film we have seen before and done far better.Guide: F-word. Brief sex. No nudity.
a_chinn I was suckered by the classic B-Movie bait-and-switch move on who's the actual star of the film. I only watched this film because Danny Trejo was on the poster looking all tough and Danny Trejo-like, but he's not the main character. That would be a no- name actor who finds a mysterious package in the trunk of a stolen car he sells to Trejo, which then leads down a very boring rabbit hole of crime film clichés. Poorly acted, poorly directed, and poorly written, there is nothing to recommend here except for Danny Trejo being Danny Trejo, which was almost enough to hold my attention.
kosmasp As a teenager I probably would've loved this movie more. It does what it says on the box. Danny Trejo has a screen charisma that works very well for the film, even though he's not the main hero in this. Actually the main hero may have some flaws (acting and otherwise), but he can hold of his own. Especially if you are in your teen years you may like the way this goes even more.Having said, the turns or some twists (family, friends and whatnot) mostly do not come as a shock. So it is predictable and you get your fair share of clichés thrown into the mix for good measure. All taken into account this still has the possibility to entertain
adi_2002 I liked Danny Trejo performance in Planet Terror and Machete but after seeing Cyborg X and this one, I don't understand why he chooses to star in bad movies. Here Jimmy, a car thief must struggle to stay alive after a job went wrong and he was forced to kill an important mobster. The story is simple but the way is portrayed in the movie make it incomprehensible. Is like the director could not manage to keep a nice flow and stumble on the way. Also there is the acting who wasn't so convincing, is like the actors we're bored on the set.Conclusion, this is the result from an inexperienced director and some unknown actors, a big mess. If you watch this and you don't turn it off after 40 minutes, then you are a very patience man. Good luck!
