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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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