All that really needs to be said about the above lobby card for MACHETE is, I want one. Like, I need one, to frame and hang above my bed. That’s how much I love it.
Obviously, here you see Steven Seagal as drug lord/pimp Torrez (click on it to see a bigger version), who is one of the many antagonists Danny Trejo’s titular character bumps up against. There are many thing to look forward to in this flick, but Seagal’s appearance is definitely way high up there.
Machete (Danny Trejo) is a renegade former Mexican Federale, roaming the streets of Texas after a shakedown from drug lord Torrez (Steven Seagal). Reluctantly, Machete takes an offer from spin doctor Benz (Jeff Fahey) to assassinate McLaughlin (Robert DeNiro) a corrupt Senator. Double-crossed and on the run, Machete braves the odds with the help of Luz (Michelle Rodriguez), a saucy taco slinger, Padre (Cheech Marin), his “holy” brother, and April (Lindsay Lohan), a socialite with a penchant for guns. All while being tracked by Sartana (Jessica Alba), a sexy ICE agent with a special interest in the blade slinger.
MACHETE opens on SEPTEMBER 3rd. Thanks to Simon for the heads-up!
