Machete
Alien first saw the fake trailer for "Machete" during the "Grindhouse" screening way back in April of 2007. I said then, I’d love to see them make this into a real movie. Well, Robert Rodriguez has created another exploitation film doozie. This ‘70s low budget style movie about immigration issues is chocked full of senseless violence and gratuitous nudity and sexuality. An ex-Federale/daylaborer (Danny Trejo) gets framed in an assassination plot and then sets out for revenge. The film has quite an interesting cast including Michelle Rodriguez, Steven Seagal, Lindsay Lohan, Don Johnson, Jessica Alba, Robert De Niro, and Cheech Marin. This one is played for laughs. And oh yes, Lohan and Alba get NAKED! Alien admired the attempt, but wasn’t thrilled by the film. If you really like this genre, you may have a great time.
Alien gives it 2 ½ "Mexploitation explosion" stars out of 4.
