Danny comes out of prison after serving 17 years for a justifiable shooting in his youth. He tries to make an honest living but finds that the change in society and his neighborhood have made it impossible and soon he is sliding into the life he sought to avoid. Solid crime drama is the sort of small gem that makes suffering all the other small independent crime films I sample worth enduring. Well made. Well acted (any film where Danny Trejo gets to do more than look mean is great in my book). Well written , this is the sort of film that makes you sit up and go "Where did this spring from.?" Looking much better than the DVD case makes it out to be this is one of the more entertaining and solid films I've seen in a while. Honestly I figured I'd pop the film in watch it for fifteen twenty minutes and then take it out, by duty to at least try the film done. However I made it to the end before I knew it. I made it to the end, intend on seeing it again and recommending it. I like that the film has weight and a sense of place. I like that all of the characters seem real (or real enough). Its a solid little B movie that deserves your attention. Its worth a look especially if you tire of big bloated blockbusters or small independent films that either all look the same or are too intent on being different. This is the real deal, a solid crime film that doesn't shoot for the stars rather it tells a good story that makes you enjoy the 90 plus minutes its on and curious about what happens after the credits role. Recommend for those wanting a good B movie.

The movie is great, it has it all, action, romance, comedy, ACTION all done in with great acting and most of all with a really good story line. I really recommend watching this movie. The movie is shot in San Antonio and Houston and takes advantage of the the beautiful sceneries and skylines of those cities. Cinematography, done by Eugenio Cañas is excellent. The special effects are awesome, these were done by AJ Garces as well as some of the make-up. The movie is based on true accounts of people, "friends" that we all have that were willing to share their experiences with the writer of how the drug world really is. The movie is fast paced where it needs to be and diligently slow at others. One thing that is different in this movie from the others that Pablo has done is the musical score. Douglas Edward really brought the movie together and gave it the feel of a high budget movie, very professional. As usual Danny Trejo is up to his usual antics as the "bad boy" and doesn't disappoint his fans. Keep an eye out for the Lead actors Manuel Garcia and Marian Zapico I'm sure you'll be seeing more of them soon.

The Boys of Ghostown starts off with the young Danny Ortega getting out of prison. It is the reality of one who tries to do better on the outside but society rejects him. As with all people, he happens to have a great friend, Corando, who hooks him up with a job. His true love happens to still be around and they wind up falling for each other. The evils of the world coming knocking, as Corando's client wants a hook up with some drugs. Danny is compelled to make a few dollars and gets involved. There was many good moments in the film. I was fortunate to be a cast member in this film. Having Danny Trejo be a part of it was very special. I think it was directed very well. Pablo is a great Director and I hope to work with again in the future.
