I bought the blu ray because it was cheap and the tagline is one of the most awesome and hilarious i've ever read - "They tried to stop him....they died".

Based on that and Danny Trejo's legendary cult movie status i was expecting a hard as nails, over the top action movie. What i got though was a pretty unexciting movie with flat dialogue and performances and ropey action scenes. Trejo is a legend who has appeared in so many great movies and he still looks awesome with his leathery face, moustache and tattoos. He's great as a support character or an evil henchman but he isn't a leading man. Jonathan Banks from Breaking bad plays the bad guy which was pretty cool.

Not the worst thing ever but i wouldn't watch it again.

BULLET is a cheap straight-to-video digital thriller starring everyone's favourite Mexican hardman, Danny Trejo. It feels like a deliberate spin on the whole MACHETE mythos with Trejo cast as an unstoppable killer who destroys anyone who gets in the way of his quest to rescue his kidnapped grandson. The plot is very similar to TAKEN and the overall film has a great pace with lots of violence to see it through. Jonathan Banks, an old-time B-movie villain who previously appeared in the likes of UNDER SIEGE 2: DARK TERRITORY, makes for a great criminal mastermind. The main problem with this is the direction, which is really schlocky and poor when it comes to the action, giving everything a fake, rehearsed look. Not a good look, and frankly it spoils the movie.

Frank 'Bullet' Marasco (Danny Trejo) is an LA detective. When he is not at work he likes to cage fight, go to Narcotics Anonymous, and take long walks in the park with his grandson (Kyle Villalovos). In order to prevent the execution of his son ( Eric Etebari) crime boss Carlito Kane (Jonathan Banks) who doesn't know about sun block, kidnaps the governor's daughter (Seri DeYoung) and Bullet's grandson. Frank goes on a rescue mission.

I love Danny Trejo,films and it was nice to see him in a movie longer than two minutes. But let's face it. This was a bad script, with cliche filled stupidity and not in a good way. They made the lawyer (Julia Dietze) idiotic. There was a ridiculous cheap special effects blood splatter scene involving a golf club. The daughter (Tinsel Korey) ex-drug addict thing didn't work well with the rest of the film.The attempt to build Frank's character felt forced.

Possible rental worthy for Trejo fans.

Parental Guide: f-bombs. No sex. Nudity (Julia Dietze)
