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

Beware B-Movie bait-and-switch. Very little Danny Trejo here.
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.
Booooooost
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!
