“After a harrowing first hour, the rest of the documentary is almost relentlessly upbeat. I was especially taken with tales of Robert De Niro’s generous treatment of his Heat and Machete co-star. He’s said to have told Trejo, ‘Take whatever roles they offer you, because these people have short memories,’ which explains a lot about both of their careers, I guess.” – North Shore Movies, 07/31/2020
