If you like B-movies then you’ll love Machete. Because this is one B-movie that actually works, mainly because it knows what it is and what it isn’t, and plays on those expectations.
Machete is the new movie from Robert Rodriguez. It started out as a fake movie trailer in the middle of Grindhouse that proved so popular that it evolved into a full-blown movie of its own.
Danny Trejo stars in Machete, playing an absolute badass who takes no prisoners. He is supported by a stellar cast including Robert De Niro, Jeff Fahey, Steven Seagal, Don Johnson, Jessica Alba, and Michelle Rodriguez.
Machete won’t be for everyone, but it’s a grisly yet funny, bloody but interesting take on a genre that’s been neglected for some time.
