Admittedly, Machete is not, in itself, a perfect film. It’s sometimes sloppy, often grungy and silly when it should be badass. But as a delivery system for the pure, wild crazed action promised by the original fake trailer in the middle of Grindhouse? Score. Danny Trejo makes for a compelling hero and is more than able to carry the movie, even if it only requires him to kill or seduce people. Plus, producer Robert Rodriguez and co-director Ethan Maniquis make sure to push it to the limit. It was successful enough to spawn a sequel, next year’s Machete Kills. And there’s still something in the back of our brains that wants Edgar Wright to produce a full film based on horror promo Don’t.
