I really enjoyed this documentary. I have seen Danny Trejo in movie after movie and only knew him as a really scarey looking guy who for the most part made a living in Hollywood playing the heavy. This documentary goes back and tells about his upbringing and how he got on the wrong path that lead him to spend several years in prison. Trejo's story could easily have stopped there but it is a story of a man who discovered himself and the right path and took it.
Very good documentary for movie lovers and I think should be shown to a lot of young kids because it shows what going down the wrong path can get you and that it is never to late to change.

Danny Trejo is living proof that people who have a real desire to turn their lives around can do just that. As a woman who met him 25 years ago, I can only say with complete gratitude in my heart, that he totally inspired me to get and stay celan and sober. Thank you Danny! And thank you for making this documentary film. It is a tribute to you and all of us ex-jailbirds that are in a 12-step program.

This DVD was awesome. Danny Trejo is an inspiration for all of us. This documentary was written, produced and shot very well. It chronicles Danny Trejo's entire life from childhood to the present. It covers his struggle with drugs, criminal activity, and eventually Prison.
After you view this excellent dvd you will have a newfound respect for this former criminal turned actor/drug counselor.

This is a really interesting documentary about the life or Hollywood heavy Danny Trejo. If you are a fan of his work as one of the most recognizable villians in Hollywood today or not you will like this documentary. Danny is a true rags to riches 'American Dream' story. Danny was a real life villian and a real bad dude. He talks about growing up in a bad neighborhood and how his family influences took him down the wrong path that ended up with him doing drugs and serving hard time in a couple of real life hardcore prisons.
This documentary is full of great interviews with famous Hollywood actors that worked with Danny. Also the film crew takes him back to prison and to his very cell that he lived in for years. It is a powerful thing to see and it is a great documentary to watch.

Danny Trejo always stands out to me in films. This documentary shows that he has that commanding presence with other people too. It doesn't speak of films until the last fifth of the work. It speaks mostly about his former addictions, criminal acts, and time in prison. This would be a great work for ex-cons and little boys who act up to see. Mr. Trejo is a father and religious person and has many qualities that viewers will really respect.
Some people may get tired of seeing him talk and talk and talk. There are one or two blonde women doing the interviewing and I wonder if they used their looks to get him to film this work. I still don't know how it is that he has such perfect teeth. He never addresses his sexiness. He says nothing about working out in or out of prison. What I especially disliked is that race and class never get brought up. Yes, he chose to commit crimes, but I still wonder how the hardships facing a low-income Mexican American, especially in the past when Latinos did not have the numbers they now have, affected him. This work felt a bit cowardly in not connecting those dots. Language too: whether he spoke Spanish or whether his relatives did never comes up. What generation American he is never comes up. Whether he wants to help Latino youth specifically never comes up. This is so different from a Jim Brown or Edward James Olmos.
