It's your typical DTV style action flick, and with Danny Trejo in the lead role, you get what you pay for. Entertaining enough with the right mindset, with enjoyable performances by Trejo and "Mike" from Breaking Bad.

A thriller action movie. Danny always plays a good part. I didn't mind it. Worth a watch I think.

"This country is built on the barrel of a gun, not the fucking constitution. There shouldn't be stars on the flag, there should be guns. We are the poor with guns and you stand in our way and we will fuck you up!"-Carlito Kane (Jonathan Banks)Danny has some good one liners."We're in America, speak Mexican, bitch!"-Frank "Bullet" Marasco (Danny Trejo)

One line summary: Two good performances did not overcome a bad script.-------------------- Carlito Kane kidnaps the Governor's daughter and her significant other in order to free Carlito's son Manual Kane. They kill the young man to show how serious they are. Shortly thereafter, Carlito kidnaps Frank's grandson Mario, then attempts to force Frank to recant his testimony against Manual. Vanessa (Frank's daughter, Mario's mother) uses the money Frank gave her (which he won from prize fighting) to buy drugs. After she attempts suicide, Frank takes her to emergency. In the meantime, the Governor takes Carlito's trumped up evidence to force the Attorney General to have Frank arrested. Frank does get arrested, but he and the cops sort things out. Frank goes rogue for a while, handing in his badge, even though he does not have to do so. Does Frank get Mario back? Does the governor's daughter get rescued?-----Scores---- Cinematography: 7/10 OK, not great. Sound: 6/10 A bit out of control on levels at times. The actors seemed to be miked OK. Acting: 6/10 Danny Trejo and Jonathan Banks are their usual menacing, intimidating selves. John Savage gave a sub-par performance, which I did not expect. The other actors were forgettable, except for the terrible Torsten Vorges. Screenplay: 4/10 Throughout the film, I was confused as to whether Frank ever was a righteous cop. Early on, he kills a couple of cops, for instance. I was surprised to see that he had a badge a bit later. After the large number of felonies that he committed, I did not see how he was not arrested. When Frank and the kids leave the site of his killing spree, I wondered how many years of therapy those two would need later on. They leave happy, though. Sigh.

Bullet is a mediocre action film that stars Danny Trejo. This is the type of film that relies on clichés to create an interesting story. The only thing is, is that it just ends up being a dull affair, one that boasts wooden performances, bland dialogue, and poorly executed action scenes. This film if it would have been rewritten might have been good fun, but the end result just suffers from a poor plot that ends up falling flat. This is the type of film that we've seen many times before, and done much better as well. I usually enjoy Danny Trejo, and he's made some good flicks, but with this one, he just doesn't deliver anything remarkable. This is a boring performance from him, and the film has a cast that is very underwhelming. Don't expect anything great here; expect a disappointing effort because Bullet just doesn't deliver anything memorable. The film, just plays out like a paint by numbers action film, and by the time the credits roll, you realize how unimpressive this movie is. This is not worth seeing, unless you're a B-movie action fan, and even then, you'll want more substance to the film. At least Breaking Bad's Jonathan Banks is great as the villain, and he almost makes you forget the formulaic storyline. If there would have been more effort into making this a standout action film, I think Bullet would have been a standout action B movie film. However, it seems that director Nick Lyon is afraid to try and make something truly original and instead opts for the clichéd story which just makes the film boring and forgettable in the long run.

Great movie. I loved it from beginning to end.

Trejo - despite his headliners in the Machete series - is not a leading man. But that doesn't mean there isn't some dubious fun to be had.
