Machete

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0985694/
Once again Jessica Alba gets tied up and gagged in a movie, she has a remarkable career and stats ending up like that in movies.













Beside Alba there is also Michelle Rodriguez as Luz,













Lindsay Lohan as April Booth












- Lindsay is however Not being topless in the pool.
You who have seen the fake trailer from Robert Rodriguez Planet terror project (he co wrote and directed that with Quentin Tarantino) knows what poolscene I´m referering to. The poolscene isn´t the only scene from the trailer that are edited into the full lenght movie - wich in all honesty makes this a wierd semi sketch movie - now I´m being way to mean.

As you all probably know by now Machete (Danny Trejo) is a bad ass mexican who have been doublecrossed after he has taken an asignement of killing George W Bush..no wait, I ment Senator John McLaughlin (Robert De Niro).

















McLaughlin uses the same phrases as W did; Fight terrorism etc etc.
Beside all the kick ass action scenes Rodriguez also manage to show more humor then any of his earler movies (haven´t seen spy kids so don´t blame me to hard) but he also makes a lot of political statements.
We maby should see Machete both as a political satire as much as a action packed A list B movie(the cast is impressive). It might not be the movie of 2010 (henche the sketch type feeling I got from different scenes) but who cares really?

The reson why the most of us chosen to see this is for the fact that Alba is being nude in the shower(she did infact had a bikini on but it was edited out afterwards).













Lohan walking topless in the pool (but it´s the scene where Machete makes out with April and her mom that has another actress then Lohan). But the real tip of the cake is Michelle Rodriguez ….. … yum yum, she is way hotter then I ever seen her before.














So with all those things out of the picture (or how you wanna say), let´s talk a little more about the movie.
Machete is an former Mexican police that has been doublecrossed and now he tries to live an normal life in US.
A man with political ideas contacts him on the street and gives him an offer; either you shoot and kill a politician or you are sent back to Mexico.
Ofcourse our hero Machete is doublecrossed, again, and that is where all "hell" brakes loose.

Luz (Michelle Rodriquez) works by the corner of a street selling coffe and fastfood, she is being harassed by Sartana Rivera (Alba) a cop who, according to Luz has turned against her own people (hispanic/Mexicans) and trying to ship them back to where they came from.
Luz, on the side, also has an army ready to strike back at the corrupt politicians and cops all she need is someone who can join all the people, someone like Machete.

Mexicans and other hispanic people joins in and fight against the evil corrupt police and politicians. There will be explotions, gunfights, naked women, a white guy acting like wato locos, a mute guy who draws his answers (he even draws the final battle) blood, guts and more.

Beside the fact that Machete feels like a sketch movie, the camera work are infact a little to good for being a B movie tribute. It may sound strange, but if Rodriguez would have kept the style he had in Planet terror (for example), Machete would have been better. Even these minor faults(?) Machete is a really funny and entertaining movie with an impressive cast, even Steven Seagal is funny and that is something I didn´t expect.
Allthough this movie has DeNiro, Jeff Fahey, Don Johnson, Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan, Danny Trejo, Cheech Marin, Tom Savini in a funny cameo., Machete is all Michelle Rodriguez movie ^_^

If you haven´t seen this allready, or if you allready have - do watch it (Again).

Jessica Albas shower scene, aswell as her scene being gagged and tied are brief.
