I had a feeling before coming to the IMDb to write my comments on this movie that many other viewers before me would have savaged this movie, and I was correct. Not that these people are wrong in giving the movie a big thumbs down, though having seen thousands of movies in my lifetime, I can say safely that this particular movie does not deserve the lowest rating. I have seen MANY movies that are far worse than this effort. For what was obviously a painfully low budget, the movie looks okay (though I admit that a higher budget would have helped.) And it's always fun to see Danny Trejo, even though he does seem to be going on autopilot for this particular project. But yeah, the movie all the same is not good at all. I summed up why the movie is bad in the subject line of this review. The script provides absolutely nothing new - if you've seen your share of action movies, every plot turn and every character will be extremely familiar. Though you've probably never seen these elements unfold in the painfully slow fashion this movie choses to do so. Making matters even worse is that the movie is painfully weak when it comes to action. The first hour of the movie has almost no action; the filmmakers have to throw in a totally gratuitous bar fight to keep the audience awake. And what little action there is in the first hour or the last half hour isn't executed in a particularly exciting or engaging manner; it is strictly by the numbers. As I said, the movie isn't the WORST, but it is definitely BAD, even if you have a hankering for B movies as I often do.

One cliché after another, bad acting and quite possibly the most pointless film I've ever seen.

No words can describe this car crash of a movie. Actually angry that I wasted my time with it. Truly awful.

This is an LOL kind of movie. The random bar fight scene? Why is it even in the movie? So many big tough guys that are trying to relive their highschool bullying days in this. Please pay attention to the hit and run driver. Why does he scream and cry like that? Why is he crying like an animal? Strip club, no nudity for a rated R movie? Whatever that's okay, but the bar in the club? It's litterally like the hostess booth!!! The guy barely fits behind it and they told him to keep quite if he knows what's best (as they flash their gun at him)....How is that supposed to be intimidating to someone thats a guard for the cartels money laundering operation? Jokes! Should be a comedy instead! Enjoy!
