Machete (2010)

I was excited about this picture ever since I heard they were making a feature length film based on the fake movie trailer that aired during Grindhouse. The posters alone will wet your appetite. Pretty great cast, including the beyond beautiful Jessica Alba. Michelle Rodriguez doesn't look too shabby either. It's nice seeing Danny Trejo snag a leading role for a change.

Plenty of gratuitous violence and mayhem. You just have to laugh when 3 heads hit the floor after a single machete swipe. I felt the film lost focus towards the end. Also, there were too many unnecessary bit players taking up screen time. Lindsey Lohan's character made little sense. I shouldn't be surprised that it didn't live up to my expectations.
