Machete 2010

The highly skilled Federale Machete is hired by some unsavory types to assassinate a senator. But just as hes about to take the shot he notices someone aiming at him and realizes hes been set up. He barely survives the snipers 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 arent you!

Review

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's all intentional there is nothing unfunny about Machete.

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.

If he wasn'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 guessed as the adrenaline and action pumped incessantly.... and hysterically this weatherbeaten old dude also managed effortlessly to bed any chiquita he came across and in style too.

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.

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!
