Aside from the blood bath that would occasionally present itself and the improbability of the chicks actually wanting Machete, it was friggin awesome.  There were brilliant moments in the film that were just classic.  It was original, which I'd expect from Mr. Rodriguez, over the top, comical, and sad.  


So... if you don't mind the gore and can suppend your disbelief in whatching Jessica Alba /  Michelle Rodriquez  /  Lindsay Lohan with Danny Trejo, then it's a MUST SEE!   

Oh, you'll also need to put aside any political issues you may have with immagration - it's only a movie.
