Danny Trejo is Machete!

Now expoltation films aren't really my cup of tea, but I thought I'd give this one a try:



It looks like it was a lot of fun to make and Trejo looks right for the role (I liked him as one of the assasins in Desperado). There also seems to be an attempt to make social statement by playing up certain stereotypes but I'm not so sure it works as a movie. B movies are B movies for a reason and very few stand the test of time. This may be the flaw: they're trying to make a trash movie deliberately using A movie methods, actors and budget. It does compare favourably with Drive Angry, however, which might be classed as an accidental B movie.
