Machete is Out and People Like It. What a surprise

Grindhouse: Planet Terror seemed to come out of nowhere a few years back, and while far from a classic high brow film, it entertained most that watched it with over the top action and silliness. Machete with Danny Trejo and a bunch of sexy women with Robert Deniro, and probably some other cameos of superstars was expected to be just as badass and breaking down the door lock to get in early.

MovieWeb seems pretty excited about it:

Robert Rodriguez's latest, Machete, is about one of the silliest, action packed romps since, well, his last one, Planet Terror. And while its purposely cheesy, it feels like a breath of fresh air to me with some good, old fashioned grindhouse violence. And it was surprisingly not a bad movie, either. I was fully entertained by it's style, its music, and comical references to real life myths (Michelle Rodriguez's character is She, a rip on the revolutionary named Che).
