Movie Review: Machete

What do you get when you put Danny Trejo, Robert De Nero, Steven Seagal, Don Johnson, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodrigues, Cheech Marin, and Lindsey Lohan in a movie together?















You get Machete!  

Full of gratuitous violence and nudity, an over the top script,  funky porn music, and at times, crappy dialogue, Machete is for the person who wants to sit back and be entertained without having to think about what they're watching.


That's exactly when they sneak in the pro illegal immigration theme in on you.  Portraying illegal immigrants as heros, and supporters of border enforcement as ignorant red necks, Rodrigues's political bias is real clear.  But with scenes like Trejo fighting Seagal, Trejo riding a motorcycle equipped with a machine gun, and Trejo having sex in a pool with Lohan and the woman who plays Lohans mother (I couldn't find her name), if you can ignore the politics of the movie, it's pretty entertaining.
