The story centers around Mae (Chasty Ballesteros) who is wanted by Aguilar (Danny Trejo) the biggest Mexican cartel leader and a group of four American bounty hunters lead by Wade (Luke Goss). They need the bounty because the Californian Armenians are leaning on a guy in a wheel chair (Anthony J. Rickert-Epstein) in the world's worst subplot. Mae knows Aguilar's operation. He can't afford to have her on the loose. Mae is hiding in a Tijuana strip joint, as we see her butt-polishing a pole on stage. Note to self: When bad guys are looking for you, don't hide on stage in a strip joint.There is a bit of a cat and mouse game going on. There is some inner tension within the crew because a woman (Luciana Faulhaber) is part of the bounty hunters filled with testosterone. Then about half way into the film it drops subtle hints that Mae is not your ordinary killer trained Asian girl living with an ugly Cartel leader in Mexico. This created a mystery, which was good, because the drama and dialogue left much to be desired like: "Tough chicks dig me." The action consisted mostly of gun play, except for that one guy who brought a knife to the gun fight. Most likely a prop they had lying around.The film leaves itself for a sequel (TV pilot?) that promises to be better than this under developed tale, perhaps filling in some plot points.
Guide: F-bomb. Nudity. Forced Groping.

Bounty hunters Wade (Luke Goss), Crenshaw (Bokeem Woodbine), Rose (Luciana Faulhaber), and Ronnie (Paul Sloan) are hired to go into Mexico to rescue Mae (Chasty Ballesteros). They are transporting the Chinese girl back to the States when she runs off. Cartel king Aguilar (Danny Trejo) wants her back alive.The first half is a functional action B-movie. Danny Trejo is the obvious draw but he only has a supporting role. It's got the desert setting and what seems like a simple premise. Then it starts adding stuff and the movie struggles. It should have been so easy. It becomes muddled and bland. At some point, I stop caring.

The IMDb plot section announces: "They soon realize that their fugitive [...] is much more than she lets on." We do as well. We realise who she is in the first minutes. From there, we expect fun... that never comes because the story decides that the bounty hunters will remain ignorant. So, instead of what we want, we get dull images, boring gunfights in the dark.Of course the bad guys always miss, with either assault rifles or rocket launchers, while the average guys (who hunt people for money, so no, I can't call them good guys) are as good at bullseye as they are at bullshit. Realising their inferiority at handling heavy weapons, the professional killers later opt for much better tactics, going one by one and hand-to-hand against the gun-wielding hero, with the results that you would expect. The Night Crew is one of those movies.The action scenes do not make up for their inanity, in either tension, humour or spectacle. They are simply bad. As for Danny Trejo, don't expect to see much of him. He is there sporadically, and only for talks.

Man, I can't believe how this movie had the budget of 3 million pax. Such garbage. SPOILER ALERT: Danny Trejo is a Besieged Farmland vampire. It makes no sense. The soundtrack of this movie would be decent if it wasn't ripped out of the orchestral backing from Tony Anderson's - The Power of Love. I do give credit where it is due however; Jason Mewes gives a resounding performance as Officer know nothing. On a larger and far more disastrous note, you hardly see the bad guys; as the majority of this films budget went toward Danny Trejo's blood transfusions.General Concensus:Make sure you watch this on a first date with somebody. It will guarantee your alpha status as "Lord of the Movies".
