"The film starts with Machete Cortez (Danny Trejo) and Sartana Rivera (Jessica Alba) attempting to capture weapon dealers who have been supplying the Mexican drug cartels. The military men are then all killed by the gangsters, who in turn are wiped out by another intervening party. Its leader murders Sartana while Machete is arrested by a corrupt Sheriff Doakes (William Sadler) and Deputy Clebourne (Samuel Davis). Doakes unsuccessfully tries to hang Machete but the President of the US, Rathcock (Charlie Sheen), intervenes. Machete is brought to the White House, where the president offers him US citizenship if he eliminates Marcos Mendez (Demián Bichir), a psychopath who is threatening to fire a nuclear missile at Washington, D.C. if the American government does not intervene to stop the rampant drug cartels in Mexico and the corruption of its government."
I'm not a Robert Rodriquez fan but this movie was okay. I did like all of the all star cameos from people like Cuba Gooding Jr to Antonio Banderas. Danny Trejo was awesome as always and it was a little bizarre to see Mel Gibson in the movie but I think he did an good job. The CGI was very poor and might have been filled with too much comedy. I wish the plot was better and they could have done different things with certain characters. It is a good movie to watch if you have nothing else to do.
2/5
little info
this film failed to make over its budget
