The highly skilled Federale Machete is hired by some unsavory types to assassinate a senator. But just as he's about to take the shot, he notices someone aiming at him and realizes he's been set up. He barely survives the sniper's bullet, and is soon out for revenge on his former employers, with the reluctant assistance of his old friend Cheech Marin, who has become a priest and taken a vow of nonviolence. If you hire him to take out the bad guys, make sure the bad guys aren't you!

So right to the point Machete was *beep* awesome and Rodriguez redeemedhimself after producing the $hitty Predators film.Danny Trejo is verycharismatic and 100% cool as hell and hopefully will be the main starof many upcoming flicks(at the beginning of the end credits thenarrator says Machete will return in Machete KILLS and Machete KILLSAGAIN!!!:)All the cast delivered except for Lohan(she was the majorweak link in the film)my personal favorites were Trejo of course andFahey as the sadistic,vile and a total douche bag Benz(who’s alsosexually attracted to his daughter).Cheech Marin s Padre was one of themain attractions with his absolutely kick ass supporting role and diesspectacularly as always(being crucified and getting nailed with pins byFahey).Michelle Rodriguez and Jessica Alba were both 100% sexy anddelivered whatever acting skills they got however I definitely thinkMichelle was the better one in this film both in terms of sex appealand character.Seagal as Torrez had very little screen time but didgood(chopping Machete wife’s head in the beginning was badass)and had ahilariously bad Spanish accent.The final Seagal/Trejo fight was shortbut well choreographed and ends up in a hilarious way which I won’tspoil cause you gotta see if for yourselves
