Machete [2010]

[mr. nails]

i thought it was a pretty good film. i've heard that the film has had a lot of criticism for the portrayal of the mexicans taking over the US. lol, that's exactly why i wanted to watch this. there's plenty of limbs being chopped off and bullets flying thru the air and the film was shot a lot like the grindhouse as well. i appreciated the subtle things that just occur in the background as well. i thought both michelle and jessica looked good and i'd do lohan too. for those wondering if u'd like this film all u need to do is watch the trailer. if u thought the trailers were good u'll enjoy the film. i'll watch again when the unrated dvd comes out. mexicans, beaners and wet backs. 8/10

"Machette is an epic tale of warmth and kindness. You could just feel the fire coming from the plethora of weapons and the lead was paid generously for his selfless act of liberating a politician from his life. I almost cried. Danny Trejo is our day's Audrey Tautou. So cute and lovable you just want to explode."

The movie was ridiculous in just about every aspect.

Spoiler alert:

The intestines repell, dumb and idiotic. Luz, getting shot in the eye and not dying, dumb. The chick pulling a cell phone from her twat, really? I could go on but what's the point?

It's suppose to be a homage to grindhouse films/inside joke but personally I think it didn't work because you can't really expect any "vision" while winking with both eyes ( as opposed to Rodriguez's more effective films like Desperado,The Faculty or Once Upon a Time in Mexico where he is essentially doing the same sort of thing but at least only winking with one)
In fact imo the one thing that truly worked was the Mexican /US aspect.
As for the 'talent" I thought Trejo was terrible in the part .He could barely speak so I guess that was why ( as opposed to keeping with his character) he basically didn't.
I wish that I could say the same for Jessica Alba ,another no -talent who like Trejo entire appeal lies in their appearance .
To which you know even with all the disembowelments and decapitations the one thing that I found truly offensive was that she ( or Lohan) wouldn't go nude so they tacked on some fakery to make it appear that they did.
I mean are we all 8 years old?

And "introducing Don Johnson" .That's suppose to be funny?Anyway his buddy's and his penchant for putting has-been actors in key roles got old a long time ago somewhere between Robert Foster and Michael Parks.

That said I didn't hate the movie but it was incredibly "tired" .
Problem with emulating anything is it's a case of already "been there,done that" .Simple fact is that if you are going to homage you have to find a way to be as good as if not better than the originals and Machete simply doesn't.
