Machete (2010)
7/10
Wow...
2 November 2010
I'd hadn't heard much about this film, I hadn't seen the trailer or even the fake trailer attached to Grindhouse. I ended up randomly seeing this film anyway, and wow! The film is very OTT, it's extremely gruesome, crude, and a lot of fun. It is definitely not everybody's cup of tea, probably too absurd for a lot, but I liked it. It dragged in parts, but it was still very entertaining in a fun way. Just don't expect anything serious or believable. Basically, in case you don't know the story, Danny Trejo plays Machete, an ex ferale whos wife is brutally murdered, and who subsequently goes on an epic rampage to get revenge. There's nothing new here in the story, which is brief and to the point. Don't expect something intelligent, leave your brain at the door for this one. All in all it is good old fashioned mindless fun, but as I said it did start to get tiresome after a while (how long can you sit and watch a 60 year old man running around Amierca killing people with a machete?) It is still worth a watch, definitely if your into action packed splatter fests and B movies.
