Trejo plays 'Bullet' a cop who plays by his own rules (yeah!) who takes maters into his own hands when his grand-son is kidnapped by a drugs cartel in return for the release from the 'big house'. Yeah it's a Mexican grindhouse movie that had a budget of $3M and it looks it too. Trejo isn't really the action hero the film makers would have you believe, grisly and scarred, tough as old boots, yes, but after a shoot out or a bit of the old fisty cuffs he looks like he need a lie down. It all ends predictably with Bullet somehow taking on the entire cartel, and there's no guessing for who comes out on top.
The movies only saving grace is Banks as the cartel leader Carlito Kane who cranks the meanness up to 11, expect to see this sorry flick though gracing the dvd supermarkets bargain bins in the near future.
