First appearing in the form of a spoof trailer released alongside Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez' 2007 double-bill GRINDHOUSE, MACHETE is a no-holds-barred B-movie extravaganza.
Danny Trejo (PREDATORS) plays the eponymous blade-wielding antihero, a grizzled Mexican Federale-turned-vigilante who kicks ass, takes names, and always gets the girl.
Framed for treason and forced to watch the murder of his wife and daughter, Machete vows revenge and sets about uncovering a corrupt Texan senator (De Niro) with a strong distaste for immigrants. With an ensemble cast that includes Steven Seagal, Jessica Alba and Michelle Rodriguez, MACHETE is a gritty exploitation flick with cult status firmly assured.
