I first became a fan of the now legendary bit-part actor when i rented From Dusk Till Dawn on video way back in 1990's & was blown away by this scary hulking Mexican that stood out from the whole cast as a big presence on screen. After the Cult Classic "From Dusk Till Dawn" i was a fan of Director Robert Rodriguez & Danny Trejo so i checked out their first team-up Desperado & loved that film too & once again that scary looking Mexican stole the show!!! Danny Trejo with his throwing knives was the best part of the movie in my opinion. After those flicks i loved seeing Trejo pop up in films such as Anaconda, From Dusk Till Dawn 2, Heat, The Replacement Killers, Deception aka: Reindeer Games, Once Upon A Time In Mexico, Spy Kids, Con Air & many more!!! As we know it was Robert Rodriguez's Machete from 2010 that cemented Trejo as a Cult Hero & New Kind of Leading Man & the film was a new kind too as a "Mexploitation" movie. Danny Trejo is now a Legend of Cinema & not only one of the hardest working & well liked actors of our times but also the nicest & most humble. Inmate #1 is an incredible look at the harsh life of Danny Trejo & how he became the most unlikeliest of Leading men in movies. Trejo really is a nice guy & a man with a good heart & is a great family man. Trejo made mistakes & learned from them & has spent the rest of his life helping people & being a positive force to anyone who has the pleasure to meet him. I found this documentary to be really well made & thoughtful & very interesting & for anyone who loves that tough but good-hearted & distinctive actor named DANNY TREJO. Trejo is a humble man & smart man & a guy that speaks the truth & speaks from his heart & I'm so glad he made it to where he is today. I love the actor & his movies especially his Machete & Dead in Tombstone & Dead Again in Tombstone & Machete Kills & Bullet but i can watch him in anything. Danny Trejo is a legend.

This is the second biography of Danny Trejo I have seen. However, this one is very different because instead of others talking about Trejo, most of "Inmate #1" consists of Trejo himself talking about his experiences and telling his life story. Because of this, I think you get to know more about him and appreciate his huge transformation from a street punk to a role model. While I watched, I was surprised that my wife watched along with me and the story captivated her as well. And, after it was over, she talked and talked about what a nice role model he's become...and how interesting he was in the film. Overall, a truly well made film about one of the most interesting figures in Hollywood.

This was a really outstanding film about hope and redemption, a man who's life could have gone sideways found a way out, a way up and is now using his Mojo to bring inspiration into people's lives. What can you say about that in this day in age of over-bloated Hollywood actors who don't have the time of day for people. A guy like Trejo is very refreshing, this guy really seems to be putting his heart and soul into helping people, inspiring people, changing lives, and giving people hope. Especially when you consider the lack of role models in the Latin Street Community this guy's a bit of a real life superhero, and truly a beautiful soul. This film was very well directed, the director just let Trejo shine through, and it is a very rewarding film.

Ok, Danny Trejo is a legend. There is no doubt. His whole life is a movie and this is a good story but too long and half of it was actually boring. Directing is just bad. The worst thing about this documentary is the promotion of his family! I mean, his son and daughter, sister were talking all the time! They talked about situations like they were there! Like he is dead or something so we have to listen what happened . Jesus !

A bit too long. Skips over his traumas as a child, which were interesting. Too much time spent on his prison life. The movie career section was good, but not great. Absolutely delighted for the man that DJ became, very inspirational. But that could have been portrayed better in the movie. He was a scumbag when younger, then become a working class hero. That aspect could have been detailed more. None the less, very enjoyable. Too much positivity and not enough reasoning behind the 360 in his life. Documentary of an admirable man, with an ok director.

Just got out of a viewing of this movie and I really don't know how you could create a better biographical documentary. Dany Trejo is clearly an amazing human, he has an amazing story and the movie was really well made. Positive message, heart warming and good laughs. Truly an unbelievable life story.

What a story! The life of well known film star and hard man Danny Trejo is documented in this beautifully put together documentary. The story of his extraordinary life is told by the main man himself along with a really interesting group of family and friends. The story will have you in shock at some of the things he went through and done but in the end will leave truly uplifted and inspired. I can only conclude this by saying I absolutely loved it and didn't want it to end. I will watch this again and again.
