MOVIE REVIEW: Machete.

YES! YES! YES!

I am a HUGE fan of Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez.
And my favorite movie of all time is Grindhouse, and almost everyone knows that Machete was originally one of the fake trailers in the film, so it's obvious that I HAD to see this.
When I left the theater, my mind was BLOWN.

The movie is all about the title character Machete (Danny Trejo).
In Mexico, his wife and daughter were killed by drug lord Torrez (Steven Seagal),
and Machete was left to die in a blazing house fire.
Three years later, he is found in Texas, as an illegal alien,
trying to find work wherever is possible.
He's befriended by Luz (Michelle Rodriguez), the owner of a taco truck.
He's picked up by Booth (Jeff Fahey),
and is hired to kill Senator McLaughlin (Robert DeNiro).
But when is about to kill the Mexican-hating senator,
he is double-crossed!
The movie is all about him getting revenge on the ones who wronged him,
with the help of many, including Sartana (Jessica Alba),
and his priest brother (Cheech Marin).

The movie is so glorious,
and everyone has some great lines and roles.
But the one who really shines is Lindsay Lohan, who plays Booth's daughter, April.
I don't wanna say anymore else about the movie,
but I'm definitely already planning to see it at least 2 more times in the theater!

GRADE: A+
