Alright so this one is a conundrum.I enjoyed it to an extent,but it confused me tonally.This is basically a faux exploitation film made whole from a fake trailer made for director Robert Rodriguez's "Grindhouse".It has plenty of the things you would look for,cartoonish violence,action,humor,villains galore.I just think it was 25 minutes too long,and struggled with it's tone.At times it is aware of the fact that it is just a fun excercise in story,and at other times it seems that the filmmakers think they are making a serious movie.Danny Trejo is great as a bit player,but really is best in short doses,and I think that's why the cast consists of some good actors like Robert Deniro,Jeff Fahey and Don Johnson too equalize Trejo's inability to completly buoy this thing.3 stars overall,I did expect more.
