Before reading any of Machete Review you must convince yourself that a man be violent enough to pull out his adversary’s intestines to use them as a rope to jump out of a window to escape from a hospital where Machete is happened to be and he is told that there is no exit out.

Machete manages with the intestines of the pursuer leaving you thinking of Octopussy of 007-brand who fells from a window with her blue chiffon sari or someone else who uses hospital bed sheets to manage an escape, but Hollywood has been evolved a lot since Octopussy.

While lady in chiffon sari was the beauty of her time, Danny Trejo (Machete) has such looks that keeps you at the edge of your seat and Robert Rodriguez who happened to be director/writer/producer and what not of the movie Machete has taken full advantage of the fact that human intestine is four times larger than the human body.

Well after having a number of disappointments like Iron Man 2, MacGruber, Killers, Robin Hood, Prince of Persia, Knight and Day, The Team-A, Salt and the Expendables this year, you would love this action comedy that is going to be landed on cinema screen at Labor Day weekend despite being a little lithe and pastiche.

Originally Machete is a remake of a trailer which was introduced by Robert Rodriguez as a prt of his Grindhouse in collaboration with Quentin Tarantino. Hope you still remember the line, ‘God has mercy, I don’t’.

But Machete is not a trailer any more and you have to stay on your toenails for more than one and half hour to watch double dealing, exploding heads and a nonstop mayhem as Danny Trejo, the ex federal goes to teach a lesson to a senator.

Well we have three white guys who can be termed as haves of Machete, McLaughlin (Robert Be Niro), his political operative Booth (Jeff Fahey) and a Mexican drug lord Torrez (Steven Seagal) but there is one other vigilant lawman Stillman (Don Johnson) who takes a visibly pregnant woman as a terrorist saying that if it is born here, it gets to be a citizen, just like you and me; and shoots the woman, telling us that his act will serve, one less illegal, one less terror baby’.

But Machete is not only the story of men, there women too, Sartana (Jessica Alba) a federal agent who is on an assignment to root out a revolutionary cell and Luz (Michelle Rodriguez) is there as head of that cell.

Above all Machete is all about Danny Trejo, in whom Robert Rodriguez has shown great confidence and a man who is famous for playing goons and cons is all set to carry out a film at his shoulders.

Still there is a question, how a man with a face that resembles to a suitcase that has been sadistically perforated by baggage handlers at the airport while they have slammed it against a wall for thousand times can have the guts to go alone. Let us watch!
