"He knows the score, he gets the women and he kills the badguys"

I watched Robert Rodriguez's Machete last night and it was amazing. Although Rodriguez had previously written the film around 17 years ago, he finally made it because of the success gained from it's trailer filmed by Rodriguez to sit between his and Tarantino's grindhouse flicks - Planet Terror and Death Proof - also a must see. (See below). The film stars the most Mexican looking man of all time - Danny Trejo, De Niro and Segal, followed by a whole host of ladies including Jessica Alba, Lindsey Lohan and Michelle Rodriguez.

Machete follows on with the same grindhouse scratched and scathed analogue film and includes: horrific deaths with a kill rank pushing the hundreds, a lot of naked women and incredible one-liners, non of which can be taken seriously. Rodriguez's political view is obviously felt and his comment on exploitation films is clear. Non the less this is an incredible film that will undoubtedly offend the majority of people.

Machete will be followed by two more films titled 'Machete Kills' and 'Machete Kills Again,' and I already can't wait. 



Also not to forget the incredible drum and bass remix by Hazard:
