Machete
The story tells of a world of unique retaliation, where the story began after being prepared by the man he hired to assassinate a Texas senator. In the end, it seems that this federal man has launched a brutal revolution to avenge his former boss, which may change things and make them completely complex.

Rodriguez and Maniquis seem to think that trashy aesthetics and a couple of meta-jokes render them brilliantly astute and self-aware film-makers, but remain oblivious to the fact that labelling something an homage doesn't necessarily make it any good.

Rodriguez plans "Machete" sequels. Here's hoping the next is sharper and cuts closer to the bone.

The end result is a disastrous waste of time that is as tedious as it is misguided...

Machete is the coolest revenge-driven, gore-splattered, star-studded Mexploitation flick ever!

First and foremost, this is a badass action film, with not only ever-badass Trejo doing ever-badass things, but everyone in the cast gets their badass moment.

The movie is ham-handed, repetitive, and rhythm-less -- a mess that's uglier than its hero and nowhere near as likable.

Basically what we have here is a very silly exploitation film similar to what Rodriguez did with his half of "Grindhouse."

I have nothing against films that take political stances, but an exploitation flick? It's off-putting. I'd prefer to sit back and bask in the carnage and R-rated silliness.

It's basically a one-joke exercise heading toward the inevitable big battle between vigilantes and Mexicans. There's lots of gore, flesh and fun along the way, but it gets repetitious.

This gleefully excessive pastiche of an exploitation picture delivers everything promised by its own faux trailer.

Though it starts off well, Machete becomes boring and slow towards the end as Trejo's shtick starts to feel a bit stale. Still, you'll definitely find some entertainment here.
