Machete (2010)
Robert Rodriguez writes and directs this film which stars Danny Trejo, Robert Di Niro, Jessica Alba and Michelle Rodriguez and is expanded from a faux commercial that appeared in Grindhouse (2007). War breaks out in Texas over illegal immigration.
While this film certainly has it's moments it does not really have enough of the over the top silly violence required to carry a film like this. The plot uses illegal immigration as the back drop but never really looks deeply into the issue and is obviously not especially realistic. There are some decent performances from the big cast although Lindsay Lohan playing a drugged out girl that wants to be a porn star probably was not much of a stretch for her.
3/5
