This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I wanted a fun, dumb, mindless action flick, but what I got was a heavy-handed political message. Do not want! I like the fact that this movie came about because of a fake trailer, but the end result should have been better.

There are killings, but everything is well cleaned: some blood, but not too much. Fat old men moving like ninjas. Security optional, enough to push the plot, not enough to make the wholes too big. Overall the movie fails to make any bothering statements. The bad guys are bad. The good guys are good. The ones in between are in between. Is it about immigration? About racism? Who knows. It's about making another movie to show Hollywood you are still alive and working. Dull. Boring.

Literally the worst movie (if not by quality than the most irritating) I've ever seen. Cheap thrills, sexuality and violence are exaggerated without story or motif backup. I'm aware that this is the grindhouse movie, but it's totally pointless.

Machete (2010): Dir: Robert Rodriguez, Ethan Maniquis / Cast: Danny Trejo, Steven Seagal, Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez: The title not only stands for the anti-hero but also his nature. After witnessing his family murdered at the hands of Torres, Machete attempts to start over until he is offered a large sum of money to assassinate Senator McLaughlin. He accepts the job but is double crossed and left for dead. Directed by Robert Rodriguez and Ethan Maniquis as a film version of the mock trailer presented in the Grindhouse double features. Danny Trejo is playing his first lead as Machete. He is out to clear his name, seek vengeance and solve a plot regarding immigration. Jessica Alba plays a cop trying to work her way up. She will see Machete as innocent especially after he saves her ass. Robert De Niro plays the corrupt Senator ranting about immigration rights. The role is somewhat comical especially given where McLaughlin ends up. He proves not to be trusted but his methods come back with fatal consequences. Steven Seagal starts out well as Torres before becoming a waste for a blade fight. Torres committed murder and a betrayal towards Machete but the rest of the film has his mug speaking from a monitor until they meet for a disappointing saber fight. Michelle Rodriguez plays a pointless character who loses an eye and eventually dons the snake Plisskin look as well as the attitude. While some may point out the immigration theme, this film clearly has a different agenda. It is well made technically but it contains graphic violence that drives the title full force. Score: 6 ½ / 10
