Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Ryan (Steve Austin) is a former cop who turned vigilante after his family is murdered. He's come to town to take on Drayke Salgado (Danny Trejo) and his gang who controls everything. Darcy (Serinda Swan) runs the hotel.This is a lower budget TV movie made in Canada. They're a dime a dozen nowadays. This one has the interesting combo of Austin and Trejo. Austin plays a bit too wooden. Trejo is his usual bad guy persona. The movie really just suffers from a lack of imagination and action. There isn't much in the way of story. There are some fights, some guns, some explosions, but none of it is that impressive. There's just isn't anything special to recommend in this movie. The closest comes from a minor stage fight between Keith Jardine and Steve Austin. I would pay to see these two do the real thing.

First things first: If you like brawl fighting, this will be your thing. It also won an award for this fighting, so the stunt people (coordinators) must have done something right. Apart from that the story is nothing special, you've seen it before. But it has a charismatic Steve Austin and a very good Danny Trejo in it. Serinda Swan fills in the beautiful woman in distress department.Effort is really good, but the story still lacks a punch here and there. It really begs you to suspend your disbelief, especially right before the big finale. Morality might not be the strongest theme in this movie, but it will do the job, if you don't expect much

Austin plays some guy who has a beef with Dany Trejo and his biker gang.Truth is, his wife and child were killed, and obviously Machete is too blame.So Austin spends the majority of the movie looking serious and doing his best lumbering 'Crow' impression, wreaking vengeance and looking mean.....The only wrestlers who have ever made any impact on the big screen are the Rock, and maybe Cena. Austin has made one watchable movie, which was the Condemened, and now he is comfortable with direct to Blu Ray trash and The Expendables.This poor effort is by far his worst movie, and bored the living daylights out of me.I knew the film wasn't going to be groundbreaking, but this was something else. If like me you were bought up on eighties action, you may make the same mistake as me and give this a go.Please don't, it really doesn't do anything or go anywhere.

Like the last review i agree a lotall in all it was a good movie with a few actors i have seen in other movies in the past. Nice car used in the movie a real classic with out that i would have gave it a 4 out of 10 lol.OK fight scenes but could have used a little more help with that i feel.Drugs, guns, bikers and an ex cop OK lets not forget the feds and the town cops paid off by the gang but all in all it was a good movie.I gave it a 5 out of 10 for a good try maybe steve's next movie will move him into a real actor but so far its been just bit pieces for him.Rent this movie: Yes Pass on this Movie: No Buy This Movie: No This movie is not worth buying!
