Machete
by Gary Barnidge on September 4th, 2010
Ethan Maniquis and Robert Rodriguez (The Directors) deliver a classic action movie packed with lots of great action scenes and a over the top amount of blood but in a fun and exciting way. The movie stars Danny Trejo as an ex-Federale named Machete, and is betrayed by an organization that hires him for a task. Which in turn sends him on a revenge mission. The movie has so many stars in it which usually would hurt the movie because of the stars have to fight for screen time but this movie is the opposite of that. With such stars as Robert De Niro (Senator McLaughlin), Jessica Alba (Immigration Officer Sartana), Steve Segal (Torrez), and Michelle Rodriguez (Luz) the movie shares the screen time perfectly with all the characters delivering intriguing performances that make the movie.
The film is shot in a old style type of shooting with an over the top amount of blood, but in a way of making it funny and interesting because it is so over the top. The movie is meant to be a funny different type of action movie that is not supposed to be a serious type of movie just a movie that is very entertaining and it doesn’t fail to impress. Danny Trejo doesn’t have very many lines but that adds to the mystique of Machete.
All in all the movie is packed with lots of action and comical parts that makes the movie a very enjoyable movie to watch. I would give the movie a 7 out of 10.
