NOT A FAMILY FILM!
*****
If you don't like violence, don't watch this. It's full of
violence. And laughs. Lots of laughs. It is a Robert Rodriguez/Ethan Maniquis
movie staring Danny Trejo, Robert De Niro and others. Why 5 stars? Because the
violence is so improbable it's often downright funny. It's a vengeance story.
Danny Trejo seeks revenge against De Niro and meets up with who else but Steven
Seagal. If you want a thinking (wo)man's movie, if you want something genteel
this ain't the movie for you. If you just want to escape your own reality for a
while with something not quite Disney, this may be your cup of tea. It was
mine. But then, I'm weird, strange, and post-menopausal. Sex, machetes, rock
and roll.
