Testosterone fueled, action packed 'shoot 'em up'. This movie is not for the faint-hearted or the squeamish. Robert Rodriguez (Grindhouse, Sin City) doesn't disappoint with this one. Tough guy Danny Trejo is perfectly cast as Machete, and I've gotta add he does pretty darn well for 67 years old. Terrific supporting cast too. This film is hilarious, raw, and sexy and I absolutely loved it. FIVE STARS.

If nothing else, Steven Seagal's laughable-looking hairpiece was an absolute scream! In my opinion, this was the comedy highlight that this dreadfully dreary picture so desperately needed._____ You know, it sure seems to me that for director Robert Rodriguez, women only come in one generic flavor. And that is the flavor of a "boy-toy" slut._____Whether she's a highly-successful immigration officer, or a street-level Taco-Momma/Secret Agent, or whatever, Rodriguez brands all of his women (as he did so in Sin City and Planet Terror) as nothing but boy-toy sluts, through and through._____ And, of course, all of Rodriguez' boy-toy sluts are knock-out beauties. (Natch) But, regardless of that, just keep in mind that beauty may be only skin deep, but being a boy-toy slut goes right to the bone._____ Besides having a mighty low opinion of women, it would also seem that Rodriguez doesn't look too favorably upon the USA, either._____ Here in Machete, Rodriguez clearly points an accusing finger at America by turning this insignificant film into a heavy-handed politcal statement where he puts full blame on the US for being the #1 reason why Mexico's present state of crime, corruption, and grave destitution is literally way out of control._____ And, last, but not least, casting that greasy, old fart, Danny Trejo (Rodriguez' cousin) as the title character was a stroke of pure stupidity. It really killed me the way that this doddery, old fool was presented as being some sort of a bad-ass/stud-muffin where all of the hot babes were just dying to get him into bed. (Ha! Ha! Ha!)._____ All-in-all, Machete, with its excessive racism, cruelty, and sadistic violence, was a poorly-executed production._____ In my opinion, Rodriguez' Machete sucked, big time._____ Yep. Enough said.

This movie was entertaining and interesting but not one of my favorite for this year. “Not too bad---good performance”. "I fast forwarded a lot but not all the way.”

I was pleasantly surprised with “Machete”. Robert Rodriguez clearly conveys his viewpoint on U.S. immigration policies, while remaining true to his unique approach to storytelling. Overall, this is a fun action film that will take you on a ride that you will not soon forget!

Great movie has it all humor, horror, drama and even a little romance thrown in not at all for people who get easily offended.

watch it for what it is, a total gruesome grindhouse b-rated movie. If you go for anything else but that you will be disappointed. I thought it was hilariously gruesome and amusing. For a movie that was developed totally out of a trailer for another hollywood movie, I would say they did an awesome job. Go for the blood, stay for the obscurity.
