Movie Review: Machete


Note: Juan Letona helps us stay current by offering up his review of Machete. Be sure to check out more of his writing on Bitmob and follow him on Twitter.

Robert Rodriguez's latest movie, Machete -- based on a trailer created for Grindhouse, Rodriguez and Tarantino's tribute to b-movie schlock -- is a bloody, revenge-filled adventure. The story takes place in the capital of Texas, where the character for which the movie is named, a day laborer, is thrown into a mixture of politics, corruption, and law. Machete quickly realizes that law and order in the United States of America is just as corrupt as the United States of Mexico.
