Let me repeat that:
2013 is going to be filled with Danny Trejo movies, the problem is that almost everything he’ll be in will be B-List movies, and you probably won’t even see 90% of them… That’s why I’m writing this post, because Trejo is a great actor, and he’s pretty under-rated even though he’s also pretty famous. Whenever there has to be a bad*ss Mexican, he’s there; from shows like Breaking Bad to franchises like Death Race, he jumps into the middle of them and makes them so much better. So that’s why I wanted to highlight his career for the (last couple) year(s), because it’s pretty impressive. Trejo has more movies coming out this year than some people do in their entire career (I’m pointing at you Will Smith).

But let’s get on with it, this year Danny Trejo is going to be in a lot of movies, I mean a lot, even more than Nicholas Cage will be… and that’s saying something. You know every couple of months you see a new movie with Nic Cage’s face on the poster? Yea, well that’s gonna be Trejo but with every DVD you see at your local shop, or on Netflix, mainly because Trejo’s movies most of the time go straight to DVD… Unfortunately.

We all know that Nicholas Cage has basically been in everything he could possibly get his hands on for the last couple years because he owed a ton of back taxes, millions, more than that. He has basically been making mediocre movies to pay off his debt… Which is a shame, not that I’m saying Nic Cage is some sort of brilliant actor, he’s not really bad at all (Con-Air and Lord of War are in my Top 20), but because he has been just acting to get money to give it back to the government, it feels like his last couple movies have been below par, and not up to the old Nicolas Cage standard.
Let’s start at 2011, because the last good movie Nicolas Cage was in, was Kick-Ass (in 2010).
