a5c7b9f00b The highly skilled Federale Machete is hired by some unsavory types to assassinate a senator. But justhe&#39;s about to take the shot, he notices someone aiming at him and realizes he&#39;s been set up. He barely survives the sniper&#39;s bullet, and is soon out for revenge on his former employers, with the reluctant assistance of his brother Cheech Marin, who has become a priest and taken a vow of nonviolence. If you hire him to take out the bad guys, make sure the bad guys aren&#39;t you! After being set-up and betrayed by the man who hired him to assassinate a Texas Senator, an ex-Federale launches a brutal rampage of revenge against his former boss. Ex-Federale Machete(Danny Trejo)was left for dead three years ago by drug kingpin Torrez(Steven Seagal).Now workinga day-laborer Machete is hired by Booth(Jeff Fahey),a shadowy figure who doesn&#39;t want gardeningmuchhe wants the grizzled Mexican to assassinate the bigoted senator John McLaughlin(Robert De Niro)who is a hardliner against immigrants.Turns out that Machete is being set up and he goes out for revenge.&quot;Machete&quot; is fun to watch.There is plenty of cheesy violence and blood sprays,the action is exciting and some jokes are very amusing.Still some characters like Lindsday Lohan&#39;s character are irritating and should be excised completely.There is not enough nudity in this lean and modern exploitation flick too.8 machetes out of 10. When I saw the trailer for this film I thought it had to be trash but I laughed almost from the beginning to the end. Tongue in cheek humour - it&#39;s all intentional, there is nothing unfunny about Machete.<br/><br/>I was ready for a lot of gore but it was all done in such a hilarious way that I hardly noticed how disgusting it was. I fact, I was still laughing 5 minutes after I left the cinema.<br/><br/>If he wasn&#39;t already so old I would say Danny Trejo was an undiscovered talent set for a meteoric rise, but the guy is already 64. I never could have guessedthe adrenaline and action pumped incessantly…. and hysterically this weather-beaten old dude also managed effortlessly to bed any chiquita he came across, and in style too.<br/><br/>Machete kills and maims and has sex all the way through the movie, but amazingly he is also a gentleman. you have to love him.<br/><br/>The best movie I have seen this year and the best movie of this genre for some time. Top marks for not taking itself one bit seriously but knowing exactly how to entertain! This is the kind of movie in which it's considered the zenith of meta-wit to have a slumming Robert De Niro (as Machete's racist politico nemesis) drive a taxi.
