Inmate #1: An Inspirational Portrait Of Danny Trejo

Taking its title from the types of characters that Danny Trejo became famous playing, Brett Harvey’s hagiographic documentary “Inmate #1: The Rise of Danny Trejo” is a routine, but nevertheless inspirational, chronicle of character actor Trejo’s rise from the tough Pacoima neighborhood through his addiction to heroin as a teenager, to his stints in jail, and finally his triumph as a hard-working actor who has over 400 acting credits to his name.
