I just rented the movie "Machete"
Now let me say that I usually like "shooter, adventure, mystery types"... I can put up with about any level of violence although I have never cared for movies that have poor acting... which of course is a matter of opinion...
I also always look at the main characters and up until now have never seen a movie with Robert De Niro... that I did not like... although I have seen some that were questionable... even his classic... "Taxi driver" was.... IMHO not very well done (although it was acclaimed as the classic De Niro) but it was one of his first and he was young and I chalked it up to that... anyway... Hell, I love C. Eastwood but his early Italian westerns had very bad acting and he never said more than a few words but the action was great and some of his supporting actors and quotes were unforgettable... (ie: Dan George my favorite)
This movie, "Machete" is ... IMHO... a piece of junk... I am extremely surprised that De Niro, Don Johnson... even Jessica Alba... and even Steven Segal (who has made his share of trashy movies... again IMHO) and Cheech Marin... actually quite a cast... even got to see a little skin from Lindsay Lohan... but it still sucked IMHO.
I even like Danny Trejo, who is a really bad azz lookin' dude that portrays these types of characters extremely well...
... but the movie sucks... don't waste your money... at $1.05 for a redbox it still sucked.... I actually fast forwarded most of it except for the nude scenes with Lindsy and her mom and a couple with the other sweeties............ scuz me.... (I watched those scenes in sloooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww mo..........
I think I will go back to 'Farmers Market' to the redbox and rent...................... "Ice Age II"....
