Machete - 2010 - 6/10

After a betrayal from a corrupt supervisor, after his wife is murdered.
Ex-Mexican police officer Machete now works itinerant labor in Texas.
Where, again, he is conned into an operation, little more than a setup.
After so many mainstream films, I had written Rodriguez off as riding the Hollywood gravy train.
Most of those releases were hits, production slick as can be.
Machete feels like a return to roots, and casting Danny Trejo is inspired.
Quote to live by, “Machete don’t text.” So say we all.
