Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

adonis98-743-186503 The highly skilled Federale Machete is hired by some unsavory types to assassinate a senator. But just as he's about to take the shot, he notices someone aiming at him and realizes he's been set up. He barely survives the sniper's bullet, and is soon out for revenge on his former employers, with the reluctant assistance of his brother Cheech Marin, who has become a priest and taken a vow of nonviolence. If you hire him to take out the bad guys, make sure the bad guys aren't you! Machete is dumb, over the top and ridiculous while on the same time it wastes a perfect talented cast of actors except Trejo who isn't that good in general and Lohan too. (0/10)

Ersbel Oraph 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.

vitachiel Machete is a trademark Rodriguez film with all the right ingredients: a tragicomic anti-hero, strong and sexy lady fighters, graphic, proportionless violence, black humor, rebellion and love-to-hate villains. However, the problem with Rodriguez is that he has a knack to overdo things. I mean it's cool to have a famous actor play the bad guy, but here we have evil Robert de Niro, evil Don Johnson, evil Jeff Fahey ánd evil Steven Seagall. And the orgasmic finale is so full of bizarre and cartoonesque brutality that all subtlety and credibility is lost. Of course, Rodriguez doesn't have any intention to be subtle or credible, but he could at least adhere a bit more to the adagium 'less is more' to create a smoother movie experience (which led his buddy Tarantino to absolute stardom). Still, Machete is much better and for sure a lot more entertaining than 90% of what is produced these days, so we shouldn't be too hard on Rodriguez. And above all we have to accept that we will never again see anything coming close to his all-time masterpiece Sin City...

Prismark10 Spun off from a fake trailer in Grindhouse. Danny Trejo is Machete, a former law enforcement agent but now an illegal immigrant and a vagrant in Texas some years after a drug lord Torrez (Steven Seagal) killed his family.A businessman named Booth (Jeff Fahey) offers Machete a large sum of money to assassinate staunch Anti Immigration Senator John McLaughlin (Robert De Niro) but its all a set up.Don Johnson is a corrupt racist cop who kills illegal immigrants and Jessica Alba plays an Immigration agent who helps out Machete.Robert Rodriguez has made a glossy B movie satire with a few star names, some political digs on immigration issues and hypocritical anti migration politicians and police.Its still down and dirty like its fake trailer. Machete is lethal with the blade, there are some over the top gruesome and funny scenes and he even finds time to be a ladies man.An enjoyable if silly film, some of the actors like Johnson, Fahey and De Niro are having a hoot playing despicable villains. Steven Seagal is out of his element among such company as the main bad guy. He is just too fat and out of shape.
