 No matter what your political views, Machete is a wild over-the-top thrill ride from beginning to end that must be seen to be believed.  Immigration is a hot button issue these days and most people have an opinion on the subject. I’m a pretty conservative guy on most issues but ...

 This is the second time I'm writing this so it may not be quite as in depth and well written as my original one was.  -Machete is the MOST fun movie of the year.  -The action is amazing, especially a church shootout staring Cheech Marin while Ave Maria blasts in ...

I can only describe "Machete" with this one sentence: It is an awesome train of awesomeness.  "Machete" is a ridiculous, over-the-top, brutally violent, send back to the Grindhouse era of films.  Although, my one gruff with this movie is that I felt it wasn't as "Grindhouse" like as "Grindhouse", which ...

  To truly understand Machete, is to know madness.   Knowing this madness helps one comprehend the art of exploitation or in this case mexploitation.   Danny Trejo, in the role he was always meant to play, is the legend known as Machete.   This ex-federale comes from a country ...

    I really liked Machete.  Danny Treyo is probably the best choice for the lead in this film.  But oh my god everyone that has been missing from movies lately is back.  There is Michelle Rodriguez, Jessica Alba, Robert Freaking Deniro!  I was expecting to see Bruce Willis at the ...

After seeing the trailers I was really looking forward to seeing Machete on the big screen, but come release week I was busy and my local Cinema only showed it for a week before they had to make room for some kid friendly film at half term. So I never ...

  Machete The story behind this film is certainly an odd one. Once upon a time, writer-director BFFs Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez made a love letter to those pulpy, tasteless, over-the-top exploitation films they loved watching so much when they were young. That film was called Grindhouse. In an ...

Those who caught 2007's Grindhouse, a self-indulgent collaboration between directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, will have seen this one coming: a two-minute joke trailer becoming its own feature. Some will agree that Machete was the most awesome, laughably absurd fake trailer of the bunch (Save for Werewolf Women of the ...

I want to hug this man. And his machetes. Everyone knows the story of Machete: in the 2007 Rodriguez/Tarantino double feature Grindhouse, Rodriguez put together a little joke trailer about a former Federale named Machete who was assigned to assassinate a senator, then was double crossed.  As the trailer tells ...

Machete  is one of those meta-ironic movies that are just too awesome to be true. It’s a real movie based on a fake trailer that features the most random list of actors you can ever think of and the result is a goofy movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously ...

In 2007 Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino assaulted the movie-going public with the grindhouse-inspired double feature "Planet Terror/Death Proof." These two films were accompanied by several faux-trailers that evoked a similar tone to their feature length forbearers, the most memorable of which was "Machete." Now, three years later, some great ...

   Hopefully everyone going to see Machete understands the parody nature of the film and is simply ready to have a good time. I left the theater with a friend and overheard someone say "Yeah, I liked it. But man, I just couldn't take it seriously". We both laughed. Thinking back on the film ...

For all intents and purposes, Machete is a film that should not exist. Based off of a fake trailer attached to the Robert Rodriguez / Quentin Tarantino collaboration Grrindhouse, Machete is something that has been talked about a lot but that few thought would ever actually materialize. Robert Rodriguez though ...

Machete is a pretty good companion to The Expendables, another bloody ensemble action film that came out in the late summer of last year. It's a little more low budget and skews a bit differently with its cast, featuring more well-known women than men and a bunch of character actors. They ...

 Danny Trejo is 66. In this Robert Rodriguez gore-and-sex festival of preposterousness and bluntly delivered cheesiness he plays an “ex-federale” Machete: an old rugged-faced man who’s behavior can be compared to that of a male gorilla species. And while it’s not a hard task to figure out his weapon of ...

 Machete is a fun ridiculous movie that loses its steam at parts.Machete ( Danny Trejo)  is an Ex-Federale on a vengeance fueled quest to find and kill the man that killed his wife and daughter.  He ends up being hired to assassinate a Texas Senator, a man who is extremely ...
