Michelle Rodriguez's Badass Career: A Retrospective

Machete (2010)

In Robert Rodriguez’s Mexploitation flick Machete, an eye-patch wearing Rodriguez plays a revolutionary named Luz who has stepped back from her leadership role in order to lay low and run a taco truck—or so it seems. Luz is never too far from the action, and is actually running a covert operation that helps immigrants all across the United States. Luz eventually teams up with Machete to take down Von Jackson (Don Johnson) and his band of aggressive border vigilantes.
