RATING:*** (3 stars)
An ex-federale who is betrayed stops at nothing to hunt down the people who set him up and uncovers a web of dirty dealings.
Machete is an action movie targeted at a very specific segment of the action film crowd--particularly those who like over-the-top violence (the kind that is just as likely to make you laugh) a la Kill Bill (2003/2004) and Grindhouse (2007). In fact, some people might remember that Machete was originally one of the fake trailers shown during Grindhouse.
There really is not a whole lot to say about the film. Based on the above and the cast (Danny Trejo, Robert De Niro, Steven Seagal, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Don Johnson, Cheech Marin) you already have a pretty fair idea of whether you are going to see the film or not. I can say with confidence that if you have plans to see Machete you will not be disappointed in either the amount of action or the sheer amount of hilarity present.
