Machete

You pretty much know what you're getting yourself into when you go see a movie called "Machete" and Robert Rodriguez delivers on the machete-wielding violence from Danny Trejo's character "Machete", but seeing Robert Deniro chewing up the scenery along side Jeff Fahey and Cheech Marin and Don Johnson, and throw in some eye candy with Jessica Abla and Michele Rodriguez, you got a cult classic in the making.  Now, Steven Seagal's hairpiece should have had its own billing because it was almost like another character in the movie, but I digress.  Anyhow, the film owns whatever exploitation genre it's shooting for, and delivers.

I give it 3 stars or a grade of B (mainly for embracing its genre roots without reservation).
