Machete (2010)

  
      Jussst finished watching Machete, directed by Robert Rodriguez, staring Danny Trejo, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Robert De Niro, CHEECH, Lindsay Lohan, Steven Seagal and others.  Overall I really enjoyed this film. It has the awesome fight scenes and brutal deaths like I anticipated it would
(including pulling out a guys intestines and using them as a bungee cord jumping out a window), but it also had a good plot that I didn't expect going in.

      Its about this guy Machete, who gets his revenge on this organization that betrayed him after they hired him to shoot Senator John McLaughlin (De Niro).  There are two sides of people in this movie,  the illegal immigrants, and the people that are trying to keep them out.  I found it difficult to follow who was on whose side at some points of the movie.  But yeah, Alba was sexy as all hell, playing this immigration officer, who hunts down machete, but then hears his story of how he was betrayed and teams up with him! so yeah, they go and team up with other people to go against people who are teaming up with other people and then they fight!  I feel like this was Danny Trejo's ideal role.  To finally have the spotlight as the badass of the movie, and even though he was the main character, he didn't even have that many speaking scenes, half the time it was him just staring down the other characters.

      
      The editing of this movie was spot on to the editing in Planet Terror, including the fake film grain in the beginning of the film, which is kewl!  Other than its ridiculous gore, and somewhat serious plot, the movie had some really funny parts. (example- redneck throwing up every time someone was shot).  This movie had all the ingredients to make it good.
Gore + Humor + Good Plot + Jessica Albas fine ass = Good Movie.
Also coming in to this movie I wasn't looking forward to Michelle Rodriguez, just because I was annoyed with her "im a badass bitch!" one liners in Avatar.  Unfortunately she had the exact attitude in this movie, but she looked way hotter in this movie, than in avatar, so ill allow it!
      So go see this movie if you enjoy Planet Terror, awesome gore, Danny Trejo, or Fine Booty,
