Machete (2010)

Two days in a row which equals two Rodriguez films in a row. This one was truly badass. It has everything you'd want from a action movie; it's got girls, guns, explosions, and interesting kills. It's done in the same way that Grindhouse was made and that's the thing I love most about this movie. It has theat old 70's exploitation look to it. The movie stars Danny Trejo (Predators) as Machete, a Mexican Federalli who was betrayed by his own boss and Steven Segal (Out For Justice) who plays a Mexican Drug Cartel named Torez. Machete has everything taken away from him like his wife and child in a bust gone wrong. Meanwhile three years later, in Texas there's a border war underway between Robert Deniro (Meet The Parents) who plays Senator McLaughlin and Don Johnson (Miami Vice) against the network led by Michelle Rodriguez (The Fast And The Furious). Meanwhile when all of that is happening, Machete gets hired by Jeff Fahey (Planet Terror) to take out DeNiro's character. So as you can tell, something will happen and you will say to yourself as they do, "The shit has hit the fan" as machete is out for revenge. There is a scene that I am debating as to whether or not the sultry scene in the pool with Machete actually includes Lindsay Lohan (I Know Who Killed Me) as your led to believe that it is because before Machete gets in the pool, Lohan is naked but the water does a nice job of hiding that. So I don't believe that those are her breast exposed in the film. If you can figure it out than prove me wrong. The movie also stars Cheech Marin (Up In Smoke) as a priest, Jessica Alba (Little Fockers) as a immigration agent, Tom Savani (From Dusk Till Dawn) as a hit man, Shea Whigham (Boardwalk Empire) as Fahey's hired hand, The Avellan Twins (Planet Terror) as sexy Nurses, Alicia Rachel Marek (Sin City) as Lohan's mom whose naked for most of the film, and Daryl Sabara (Halloween, Spy Kids) as Julio. I give the movie an A- because I thought it was a fun movie.
