MACHETE (2010)


Probably one of the most absurd action movies I've ever seen. I have read about people being upset about the political slant of this movie. I can't imagine anyone being upset about such a stupid movie. If they think people are going to rise up and be motivated to revolt against the government because of a movie like this they are clearly delusional. Although silly as hell I also found it entertaining as hell. Danny Trejo does a decent job as a one-dimensional Mexican bad-ass in the mold of every 70's blaxploitation hero. Aside from a few slow draggy spots, here and there, it moves along quickly enough. You get blood, heads roll, Lindsay Lohan's boobs are on display, tons of machete-fu and a large amount of general Mexploitation. Cheech, Don Johnson, Steven Seagal, Tom Savini, and even Robert DeNiro(who isn't much of an actor at all anymore) all do a good job in the silliest of roles.

The original trailer:

  1. I've been dying to see this, but missed out this passed weekend. Is it worth the price of theatrical admission or is it a rental?

  2. I was able to see it for free through a friend. I'm not sure if I would have paid to see it. I guess it depends on how much you like the Robert Rodriguez style of new/trying to be retro stuff. It is entertaining and it is also silly as fuck.

  3. Silly as fuck, huh? Definitely excited to see it, but not sure about dishing $15 for it. It's a touch decision... gore and Lohan jigglies or gas for my car and a microwave burrito... hmmm...
