"Machete," the (fake) trailer was better than the movie




two titles this year was expected by fans the action film that stood out above the rest: "mercenaries" and "Machete" (Id, 2010). Yes film Stallone has been the face this that concerns us is the cross, and that I'm a fan of director Robert Rodriguez , who on this occasion the band signed with his usual riding Ethan Maniquis . As you know "Machete" is based on a fake trailer that rolled to Rodriguez "Grindhouse" . The warm reception that led trailer rodase the film.

Danny Trejo, directed films usual and / or produced by Rodriguez is Machete, a Mexican federal whose family is murdered by Mexican drug lord Torrez (a fun Steven Seagal). Machete time later reappears in Texas where he was hired by a mysterious business man named Booth (a recovered Jeff Fahey) to end the life of Senator McLaughlin (Robert De Niro , "Who has seen and who sees you ?) but everything appears to be a trap. Other characters who cross paths are Sartana Machete ( Jessica Alba), an immigration agent, a light ( Michelle Rodriguez), a seller of tacos with revolutionary spirit Booth wayward daughter, April ( Lindsay Lohan, laughing at herself), a Mexican priest to take up arms ( Cheech Marin) and a paramilitary racist named Von (a missed Don Johnson).

The best moments of "Machete" already present or in the fake trailer (the bike machine gun, mounted trio Machete or the priest, armed to the teeth) or the actual trailers that were shown before premiere of the film (the sensational scene of guts used as if it were a rope). In addition, the action scenes, though full of violence, are filmed with reluctance and are overwhelmingly less spectacular than you expected. Only include the prologue where Machete faces Torrez men cutting off heads, arms and everything you put in front of the hospital and the scene culminates in the aforementioned scene of the gut.



In its final part the film completely loses his way and ends up totally losing interest. In addition, one lacks an epic showdown between Danny Trejo and Steven Seagal, but his fight with swords is shipped in a couple of minutes boring minutes, where the most fun is the death of Torrez.

best thing you can say the film is that despite its flaws, "Machete" is entertaining. But no more. Of course, when you saw the fake trailer, expect to see the "Kill Bill" Robert Rodriguez of , and nothing is further from the truth. The diptych Tarantino is infinitely superior to the film Rodríguez. Both are wild, unbiased and comic violence, but the difference is that "Kill Bill" has interesting characters, well written dialogue and good action scene, elements lacking in "Machete" .

A couple of notes to finish. What that teaches Lindsay Lohan's breasts is not true because in the film used some of the scenes had been shot in the fake trailer for example, in threesome scene between Danny Trejo , Lindsay Lohan and Alicia Rachel Marek , which is not Lindsay Lohan who teaches the breasts but the actress who was his role in the trailer. The other is that at the end of the film, refers to two further sequels but seeing the poor performance at the box office, it seems unlikely to see "Machete Kills' and " Machete kills again ".

best: wild and carefree tone.
Worst: expected much more from it.
