Machete



Did It Suck Review: 4.5 Stars     Time: 1hr 45min‎‎     Rated: 18-A

Machete don’t text….but he kicks ass

Plot: Machete is a 2010 action movie from Robert Rodriguez.  It stars Danny Trejo, Robert DeNiro, Don Johnson, Lindsay Lohan (yes, you heard me right), Michelle Rodriguez and Jessica Alba.  The movie tells the tale of Machete, a Mexican Federale (cop) who is betrayed and left for dead.  Some years later he is framed for attempted murder and he brings the hurt down on those who were behind it.

Did It Suck? Machete started life as a fake trailer for Tarantino’s Grindhouse movies, and the movie lives up to all the promise from that fake trailer.  It has lots of action, lots of gore, more blood splatter than I can remember seeing for a long time, and a good amount of ‘sick’ humour that fits in perfectly with it all.  It’s one of those movies where some of the more extreme ways people die are so over the top you have to laugh at them; unlike many other movies I am pretty sure that in this one it was intentional.  Almost from start to finish it keeps you wanting more, there are no slow parts, it’s just one long thrill ride. Is it ludicrously over the top?  Yes.  Is it full of blood and guts?  Yes. Is it Worth a Ticket? Hell Yes.
