It could have been much better. I wish I would have known it was going to be one big political statement.

I will watch it at some point. I've wanted to watch it since I saw the trailer during Grindhouse

Well how much you like this flick will depend on your stance on illegal immigration.

It is against Arizona and border patrol?

Yes, but cleverly it's set in Texas instead of AZ and the senator involved is John McLaughlin aka John McCain.

Ahh I don't think I'll get all that emotional about it. I have my opinions, I doubt I will take Machete all that seriously. The preview has a dude flying through the air with a machine gun hooked to the front.

I'm just glad Danny Trejo gets a lead role, finally! Will see it sooner or later.

I am going to take a pretty wild guess and say that the movie is anti-AZ and border patrol.

Yeah...it's amazing how fast Hollyweird capitalizes on political issues to make a buck while simultaneously sending incredibly skewed views of political reality to those dumb enough to fork over their hard-earned cash to keep these clowns in business. Just sayin'.......

Not criticizing anyone, but are you surprised at an underlying theme. Its Robert Rodriguez. Parents from Mexico, he is a Mexican-American born in Texas. Pretty outspoken about the whole ordeal (although not in the media).
BTW, Trejo is Rodriguez' second cousin.

I'm not shocked but I didn't assume they would beat you over the head with it the whole movie.

Is this supposed to be the same "uncle Machete" character as in Robert Rodriguez's "Spy Kids", amped up for an adult audience?
Also saw Cheech is the previews...
will definitely watch at some point...those toungue-in-cheek throwback action flicks a la "Grindhouse" and "Kill Bill" are enjoyable escapism if not presented to seriously...

Hmmm, the grind house preview had some naked ladies in it. Any chance Lyndsay is one of them in the movie?

The Grindhouse preview I think was a joke trailer turned into a real movie.
Yes, Im pretty sure Machete is the same charcter.
Rodriguez combined the real movie and the Grindhouse preview into a trailer which people thought was real but it was a joke. It was about Machete targeting the Arizona Immigration shit. Looks like it wasnt so much a joke in terms of content.

Yes she is one of the naked ladies and you are correct. It's a little too late.

Ahhh, what once was. They should do a before and after shot as a "Just So No to Drugs" spot:
