Intense movie!

The movie is a cross between Romeo and Juliet and Scarface! I recommend you watch the movie with a date.. There is something in it for everyone (everyone except young children).. Great cinematography... Wonderfully scored.. the music pulls you into the movie.. A very intense movie in some parts.. The tension and energy continues to builds until the very end.. The movie leaves you wanting more... The great thing is that this is a prequel to "7 Kilos" yet I believe there is still room for another movie since you really "Can't Kill a Dead Man"... It'd be nice to see where the story of the Danny Ortega character goes before "7 Kilos"... Great movie though and Danny Trejo performed to his finest and stills holds the record as Hollywoods favorite Bad Guy...

Solid crime drama is worth looking for

Danny comes out of prison after serving 17 years for a justifiable shooting in his youth. He tries to make an honest living but finds that the change in society and his neighborhood have made it impossible and soon he is sliding into the life he sought to avoid. Solid crime drama is the sort of small gem that makes suffering all the other small independent crime films I sample worth enduring. Well made. Well acted (any film where Danny Trejo gets to do more than look mean is great in my book). Well written , this is the sort of film that makes you sit up and go "Where did this spring from.?" Looking much better than the DVD case makes it out to be this is one of the more entertaining and solid films I've seen in a while. Honestly I figured I'd pop the film in watch it for fifteen twenty minutes and then take it out, by duty to at least try the film done. However I made it to the end before I knew it. I made it to the end, intend on seeing it again and recommending it. I like that the film has weight and a sense of place. I like that all of the characters seem real (or real enough). Its a solid little B movie that deserves your attention. Its worth a look especially if you tire of big bloated blockbusters or small independent films that either all look the same or are too intent on being different. This is the real deal, a solid crime film that doesn't shoot for the stars rather it tells a good story that makes you enjoy the 90 plus minutes its on and curious about what happens after the credits role. Recommend for those wanting a good B movie.
