Story: |
Machete is based on the fake trailer in Robert Rodriguez's 2007 Grindhouse,
featuring Danny Trejo and Jeff Fahey reprising their original roles. The
character has also appeared in the "Spy Kids" series, although a little more
family-friendly.
The feature version finds Machete (Trejo) a renegade former Mexican Federale,
roaming the streets of Texas after a shakedown from drug lord Torrez
(Steven Seagal). Reluctantly, Machete takes an offer from spin doctor
Benz (Fahey) to assassinate McLaughlin (Robert De Niro) a corrupt Senator.
Double crossed and on the run Machete braves the odds with the help of Luz
(Michelle Rodriguez), a saucy taco slinger, Padre (Cheech Marin) his holy
brother, and April (Lindsay Lohan) a socialite with a penchant for guns. All
while being tracked by Sartana (Jessica Alba), a sexy ICE agent with a
special interest in the blade slinger.
