Sex, MACHETES, Rock N Roll

Machete

English
105 Minutes
2010
NOT A FAMILY FILM!
*****


If you don't like violence, don't watch this. It's full of violence. And laughs. Lots of laughs. It is a Robert Rodriguez/Ethan Maniquis movie staring Danny Trejo, Robert De Niro and others. Why 5 stars? Because the violence is so improbable it's often downright funny. It's a vengeance story. Danny Trejo seeks revenge against De Niro and meets up with who else but Steven Seagal. If you want a thinking (wo)man's movie, if you want something genteel this ain't the movie for you. If you just want to escape your own reality for a while with something not quite Disney, this may be your cup of tea. It was mine. But then, I'm weird, strange, and post-menopausal. Sex, machetes, rock and roll.
