Unwilling Accomplice Dept: Un tequila mas, por favor . We’re talking pool orgies. Law-enforcement babe Jessica Alba in and out of uniform. Rows and rows of shot glasses. And for those who fancy a little bit of the old ultra-violence, a sequence in which the title character fashions an out-the-window escape rope from an unwilling accomplice’s intestines, according to Globe And Mail. For the uninitiated, Machete began as a fake trailer in writer-director Robert Rodriguez’s half of the double bill Planet Terror - Death Proof 2007 . In the film come on, an impoverished Mexican labourer played by Danny Trejo, an actor with the complexion of a sequoia, wanders into the crosshairs of an American right-wing conspiracy. Trejo’s character, Machete, is hired to knock off a U.S. senator who wants to shut down the Mexican border. Only it turns out Machete catches the first bullet and machete is a drinking man’s The Expendables , a guest-star-studded B-movie action flick with all the party perks an 18A rating allows. There are also a few good jokes. Some are explicit – Robert De Niro plays a Stetson-wearing, corn-pone southern senator. Some you have to chew on a while – Lindsay Lohan, for instance, dressed up as a nun. Get it? Lohan has a new habit! As
reported in the news.
