Machete-2010<\/strong><\/p>\n

Director Ethan Maniquis, Robert Rodriguez<\/strong><\/p>\n

Starring Danny Trejo, Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scott’s Review #501<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"70125125\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Reviewed October 28, 2016<\/p>\n

Grade: B<\/strong><\/p>\n

Machete (2010) is a clear, fun homage to exploitation films of the 1970’s movies, directed by Robert Rodriguez (a protege of Quentin Tarantino) and quite heavily influenced by his mentor.<\/p>\n

It very much resembles a Tarantino film with the comic, over-the-top elements, and the violence, but is somewhat less compelling in the story department, and lacks the crisp, rich storytelling.<\/p>\n

It tells the story of a Mexican ex-Federale (named Machete) involved in a plot to kill a corrupt United States Senator (played by Robert De Niro).<\/p>\n

He attempts to flee Mexico for Texas, is shot, and spends the remainder of the film vowing revenge on his assailants.<\/p>\n

Machete contains many celebrity cameos and is fun to watch- in a light way. The film is not intended to be looked upon earnestly.<\/p>\n

For the interested, you also get to see Lindsay Lohan topless.<\/p>\n

The film is a fun, violent, popcorn flick, with a nice political message, but if interested in these types of movies, rent Grindhouse: Planet Terror (2007), which is a better experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
