Five Thirteen Trailers

In this tension-packed thriller, brothers Mike and Tre set out in search of better lives, trying to leave their demons behind for good. After being released from prison for a crime he didn't commit, Mike's only care in the world is to protect his young daughter from an unforgiving ex. But the justice that awaits him on the streets is far worse than anything Mike had experienced in prison. His older brother Tre begrudgingly agrees to one last "delivery", attempting to free Mike and his new girlfriend from the grips of the criminal underworld. What transpires is a wild misadventure where multiple lives unknowingly intersect, and where decisions are made that will haunt everyone forever

The film centers around brothers Mike (Avelawance Phillips) and Tre (Malik Barnhardt). The opening scene is a teaser that repeats itself 40 minutes into the film. No sense attempting to figure out what it has to do with the plot. Mike recently gets out of prison and wants to spend time with his daughter. His ex-wife wants nothing to do with him. He gets involved in a fool proof bank robbery.Meanwhile his brother wants to do his last job. He is transporting money to "El Loco" (Danny Trejo) a bad guy in Mexico. At age 13 "El Loco" killed two grown men with his school pencil for raping his sister. Then he killed her so she wouldn't have to live with the shame. Shades of Keyser Söze. And a 30 minute plot spoiler...they have to bring back a kidney because no one in the US will give one up for the gross amounts of cash they are shelling out to get one from Mexico. Add some more undeveloped plot twists, some killing etc.A kidney? Seriously? Everyone has two and you can live with one. I can't imagine getting a kidney donor is not that tough. Now if they made it a liver, I could see that. Danny Trejo who doesn't have 513 degrees as the cover suggests is in the film for only a couple of minutes. The 513 is explained at the end of the film, as it appears no one could come up with a decent clever title. What is the shelf life of a kidney in a small igloo cooler in the desert? They do make coolers that plug into the vehicle lighter.The plot wasn't tight. The drama outweighed the action and wasn't that great. The film wasn't engaging and you really didn't care what happened to the main characters which were all criminals and weasels. Not worth a special effort to watch.F-bomb. Brief stripper nudity.

Hey alshwenbear1, You've got a problem with movies? Are you frustrated? I saw that you have pleasure to down almost every movies you have seen ... It's like you want to have the last word but not this time. Because seriously this film is Excellent. :-) The story is great.. The women are strong, men are good looking :-) But the best for me was Tre & Mike, they burst from the screen. They are endearing, I had my tear as Tyrick100 ... There two actors (Malik Barnhardt and Avelawance Phillips) we will see them very soon in Europe because in the United States you can't appreciate their play. Here they will be adored :-) So Bad !!! Malik & Avelawance come to Europe... we love you already ;-) Emilie

Nothing worth to mention, except for the first five minutes. The actors seem to be playing a "lame role", unconvincing and soap opera like, the music is over melodramatic adding to the lack of talent. Not even Tom Sizemore, (whom I had the chance to meet in LA in 2002, on 22nd street and Union Ave, while he filmed Robbery Homicide Division), adds anything to this movie. The scenes of the bank Robbery , taken straight out from "HEAT" and Sizemore fixation on playing a mix if DeNiro and Pacino while being on antidepressants, or maybe trying to remember his lines. The clichés, close-ups, and photography another let down, so far this movie seemed to be financed and acted by a bunch of guys who had too much time in their hands and not a single bright idea! The only one who is up for the job is Steven Bauer, on the other side of the coin I would said that the worse of all is the "actor" Malik Barnhardt, I wish that he has been shot instead of the cop! Seriously, if I were you I would pass on this one, and reinvest my time watching again HEAT, or THE TOWN or THE Italian JOB, heck I would settle down for Disney's Robin Hood for a better time!
