‘Machete‘ has fallen into controversy, and it’s still months away from its September release. 20th Century Fox, which won a ‘bidding war’ to distribute the film, pulled Rodriguez’ fiery “Illegal” trailer from the web shortly after its special “Cinco de Mayo” message created a storm of controversy and fueled attacks, including one from its sister subsidiary Fox News.

So... Mr. Machete sold out to be a murderous thug for some amount of money...
It's like the story of the woman who when asked if she would go to bed with this man for one million dollars... she said "yes!"
She was then asked if she would go to bed with him for 25 dollars and she indignity replied, "What do you think I am... some cheap whore?"
To which he replied, "We've already determined that you are a whore... now we're just haggling over the price."
So Machete is a for hire hit-man... but to the Mexicans in this movie... he is some kind of hero?
What a crock.
Every self-respecting Latino should lead the way is rising up against this crap.
Don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen. This film will be a catalyst to violence. Remember that this fall after it comes out and it begins.
