Kyle M Truly compelling and humbly crafted in terms of captivated engagement to realize the worthwhile value, whether or not you've watched the actor's works prior, Danny Trejo's journey is given a reflective portrait of being one of the most humane subjects covering youth struggles amid social class conflicts and career growth under unexpected heartening resonance. (B+) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Phenomenal journey of an AMAZING man. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Taking us through a feature length journey from an early life of drugs, armed robbery and hard prison time, to the red carpets of Hollywood blockbusters and helping troubled addicts and people in general. Danny gives a beautiful first hand account of one of the greatest transformations of human character ever put to film. To this day, Danny continues to council recovering addicts and speak at state prisons and even after 46 years of sobriety, he never forgets his roots and pays it forward that which has been bestowed on him. Having spent 71 years (to date) starring in a personal expedition that outshines any Hollywood fiction, Inmate #1: The Rise of Danny Trejo, is the shocking story of one mans capacity to overcome his demons its also such a wonderful reminder of beautiful humanity about a man who continues his journey through redemption whilst never forgetting his past . Through the exploration of his old stomping ground and the supporting cast of family, friends and some very familiar faces from the big screen. This documentary is not only a film thats very much worth watching if you are a fan of Dannys work, but also very much worth watching if you want to see a human journey that will not only make you smile, but will also make you think about the way you live your own life Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member absolutely amazing, having been able to meet Danny many times throughout the years this is the movie he needed to show!

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/14/20 Full Review Audience Member Pretty interesting story, both from the perspective of a young Hispanic growing up in the 50’s in the USA, life in the prison system, his turnaround after defeating drugs and alcohol, and how much this dude cares and gives back to this country.
