Studio’s Synopsis:

Worth seeing?

For anyone who actually saw the Tarantino/Rodriguez Grindhouse double feature Machete is long overdue. Based on one of the fake trailers from this project, Machete most likely went into production after an overwhelming response from fans. Reviews are surprisingly positive and this would make for a great boys night out on Friday night. Oh! and did I mention it has a sword fight between Steven Seagal and Robert Deniro! That surely is worth the price of a ticket right there. (Rotten Tomatoes Rating)

Box Office Predictions:

A modest 26 million take in it’s homeland, Machete could pull in 2-3 mil locally. This will easily be more profitable than the ambitious Grindhouse double feature which just couldn’t find an audience in cinemas.
