Danny's performance in Desperado was more "down to earth" and entertaining than his role in Machete. Yes, action, violence, and gratuity sex are in this film; however, the director makes Danny take the action to beyond earth heights and far into fantasy. Attempts to suspend disbelief does nothing to regard Danny's knife scenes beyond comical or at best on a par with the wonderous flying martial arts actors who blithly skip on water in Chinese films. Danny is a solid character actor who deserves a better director. The film will make one question their blood lust motives.
