After a violent shakedown from a notorious drug lord nearly kills him, Machete, a renegade Mexican Federale and tough-as-nails vigilante for justice, roams the streets of Texas, working as a day laborer.

But what they don't know is that Machete is looking for them so he can settle the score.

| Critics' Reviews: | "Rodriguez pulls off his political commentary with sly humor and an affection for genre conventions." -- Beth Accomando, KPBS.org; 2-Sep-2010 "Machete works because at no time does it ever ask the audience to take any of this too seriously, yet the nudges and winks are never so forceful that it feels like it's begging for your laughter." "It’s gleefully violent, but in a way that’s more than just brutality for brutality’s sake. It’s creative, it’s sarcastic, at times it’s even flat out funny..." |
