Machete (2010)

Based on the fake trailer shown in the Grindhouse film double-feature, this movie is directed by Robert Rodriguez. It stars Danny Trejo as Machete, a former Mexican Federale who is now a day-laborer on the border of Texas and Mexico. Machete is hired by Booth (Jeff Fahey) to assassinate Senator McLaughlin (Robert DeNiro), a conservative politician who wants to build a fence between Mexico and the United States. However, the assassination doesn't go as planned (or as Machete had planned) and now everyone is after him...the cops, Booth's men, Torrez the Drug Lord (Steven Seagal) to name just a few. On the run, he gets help from the Underground organization run by Luz (Michelle Rodriguez), and the unlikely source of ICE federal agent Sartana (Jessica Alba).

Available: Netflix, Amazon
