Robert Rodriguez’s co-directed grindhouse fun-fest is loaded with laughs, gore and ’70s-styled social commentary. Machete follows former a Mexican Federale called Machete (played with gusto by Danny Trejo) who is hired to assassinate a Texas senator. Machete soon becomes public enemy numero uno, waging a one-man war against the bigoted powers that oppress and kill his people. You can guess his weapon of choice.
