I'm watching bad ass right now, and while I love seeing Trejo on camera, I'm not super impressed with his acting here, or in any film I can really pin down.

I like him in everything obviously cuz he's so much fun, so stilted delivery doesn't really bother me, but I am curious what you guys think his best acting performance is.

Heat. But that just may be the best film he was in.

[–] Varyk 2 points 1 year ago

Fair, thanks. I have an unpopular opinion about deniro and pacino though, so heat doesn't crack my top (any number) in cinema.

I haven't watched it in a decade though, so apparently I have to watch it again because everybody still talks about it 40 years later

Haven't seen them all, but I'm going to pick Machete.

[–] Varyk 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think I'm with you there.

It's either machete or I have to watch him again in Desperado. I feel like in Desperado I was like "Oh yeah that is a murderer." But he had to maintain that for the whole of machete.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

He's really good in Desperado too, that would be a solid choice.

Not his BEST, but he has a blink and you miss it cameo in Runaway Train, I think that was his first movie. Playing an inmate in an Alaskan prison.

Oh rad, thanks, I'll check it out

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's one of those movies that will come on at 2 AM and make me go "Oh, goddamn it, I WAS going to go to sleep..."

[–] Varyk 3 points 1 year ago

Oh awesome, haha, this is a ringing endorsement.
