This is truly awful, which is exactly what it was suppose to be! It is an exploitation film (look it up on Wikipedia, it’s a thing). And the talent seems to have lined up to be in it: De Niro, Michelle Rodriguez, Jessica Alba, Don Johnson, Steven Seagal, Chechen Marin, and so on. Expect every excess of popular film making and you will probable find it, or alluded to, here.. As this was my first foray into this genre, I watched the whole thing (and there are sequels!). For its genre it is a cult classic. For my tastes, it only has curiosity benefit, and it truly is stupid, so I’m going to tread lightly here and give it a 5 (genre and taste, balanced) out of 10.

Adapted from one of the fake exploitation trailers of Rodriguez and Tarantino's Grindhouse project. This has definitely more heart and raw energy than the sequel "Machete Kills", but the pacing is a bit dull, and the action scenes are not always as memorable as they should.

The mother of all macho-action-grunt-splosion movies, and if you were expecting something different, I don't know what trailers you were watching. Easily the most morbidly hilarious film I've ever seen, I was cracking up at over-the-top triple decapitations within the first minute and shocked at the kind of material that was eliciting so many belly laughs. It's paper-thin by design, proudly heavy handed and clearly something everybody had the time of their lives filming, but the entertainment value does start to wane by the end of the second act. May have been more fulfilling as a joke trailer, though I'm sure I'll watch it again when I'm in the mood to shut off my brain.

Machete is the badass gore action revenge movie. Pity it's getting repetitive towards the end. Still lotsa fun. Stupid badass fun.

[8.1/10] Why do I love these nouveaux-exploitation films? I tend to enjoy realism and naturalism in my films, and yet I find it rapturous when *Machete* director Robert Rodriguez gives us an extended, blood-soaked Looney Tunes cartoon. I tend to scoff at how women are minimized and objectified in a More
