     Machete is a ridiculous, unscrupulous satire that pleasantly scoffs at the love affair that audiences have with action movies. The film is stockpiled with enormous bouts of ridiculousness that highlight the outrageous nature of this enjoyable mockery. It is comprised by an all-star cast that fill nearly every role in the film. The movie stars Danny Trejo (Death Race 2), Jessica Alba (Little Fockers), Michelle Rodriguez (Battle: LA), Robert DeNiro (Little Fockers), Jeff Fahey (Planet Terror), Cheech Marin (Race to Witch Mountain), Lindsay Lohan (I Know Who Killed Me), Don Johnson (When In Rome), and Steven Segal (Above the Law) .
