MOVIE Review “MACHETE” Score B+ 87%

Machete, for those who don't know, was develop solely on the popularity of a fake trailer made for the double feature "GRINDHOUSE". The trailer and the movie match up perfectly. This is 70's grindhouse 'B' action movie in its best. Danny Trejo rose from a back ground thug/ stuntman and here finally gets his leading role. Alba an Rodrigez are both insanely hot in this one (be on the look out for Alba in a quick shower scene). Trejo plays Machete, an ex left for dead Mexican Federali who is now working as a day laborer in Texas. He is 'hired' but set up to take out and kill an evil racist senator (Played by Dinero). After he is wounded and then hunted as an assassin he turns the tables and goes after all of the bad guys in a revenge flick. Lots of killing, bombs, guns, quick sex with every hot woman in the film and more knives ensue. This one is pure campy fun. Its comic book like action with cheese dripping off the dialog. Steven Segal's death speech is especially hilarious. I loved it. Its exactly what I expected going into this... based on what I already knew about it. I was looking forward to this one and it did not disappoint me! Check it out for a good time.
