Machete

I love over the top action flicks.  Machete is absolutely that kind of film.  Severed heads and blood everywhere.  This film is not for the faint of heart.  Danny Trejo is amazing as an ex-Federale who after immigrating to the United States seeks revenge against those who destroyed his family.

Just in case you don't know the background, this movie was created by Robert Rodriguez, who wrote Grindhouse.  In the movie Grindhouse a trailer for Machete is shown.  Fans of Grindhouse were clamoring for the movie Machete to actually be made, and well it is here in all its B-movie glory.

Even though this movie has a slightly political agenda you needs to leave your brain at the door to enjoy it. There is blood and guts in almost every scene, as well as a star studded cast.  Danny Trejo is my hero!

If you love a manly, bloody, often funny movie go for it.  and remember "Machete doesn't text!"
