“Machete” may be one of those movies that comes dangerously close to crossing a line
Satire in “Machete” is what puts Rodriguez on such a thin line to walk. “Machete” could be the story about a Mexican federale (Danny Trejo) that wants revenge as it is designed to be a send-up of the 1970s midnight movies genre in the way “Grindhouse” did in 2007. Drug lord Torrez is played by Steven Seagal who’s himself as part of the parody while Machete loses his family to the drug lord agents.

De Niro’s role here was to be the U.S. senator to shoot both the pregnant woman and man after saying, “Welcome to America” to them. Numerous didn’t like the effective satire that ended so bloody. Rodriguez was just having some fun.
It’s bloody fun
