which movie has Danny trejo's best acting?

I’m watching bad ass right now, and while I love seeing Trejo on camera, I’m not super impressed with his acting here, or in any film I can really pin down.

I like him in everything obviously cuz he’s so much fun, so stilted delivery doesn’t really bother me, but I am curious what you guys think his best acting performance is.

Haven't seen them all, but I'm going to pick Machete.

Varyk,

I think I’m with you there.

It’s either machete or I have to watch him again in Desperado. I feel like in Desperado I was like “Oh yeah that is a murderer.” But he had to maintain that for the whole of machete.

He's really good in Desperado too, that would be a solid choice.

Not his BEST, but he has a blink and you miss it cameo in Runaway Train, I think that was his first movie. Playing an inmate in an Alaskan prison.

Varyk,

Oh rad, thanks, I’ll check it out

It’s one of those movies that will come on at 2 AM and make me go “Oh, goddamn it, I WAS going to go to sleep…”

Varyk,

Oh awesome, haha, this is a ringing endorsement.

Heat. But that just may be the best film he was in.

Varyk,

Fair, thanks. I have an unpopular opinion about deniro and pacino though, so heat doesn’t crack my top (any number) in cinema.

I haven’t watched it in a decade though, so apparently I have to watch it again because everybody still talks about it 40 years later
