Review of Machete (2010)

By Michael A. Smith (689) for Nolan's Pop Culture Review (315) on 01 Sep 2010

Strong and mostly silent, Trejo brings to mind the late Charles Bronson, an underrated actor who made it big as an action star…

Review of Machete (2010)

By Dustin Putman (2,479) for TheFilmFile.com (2,314) on 01 Sep 2010

An orgy of hot babes, rugged men and blood-strewn weaponry, the picture has been made with giddy, people-pleasing aplomb…

Review of Machete (2010)

By Claudia Puig (2,080) for USA Today (4,117) on 01 Sep 2010

Danny Trejo plays the long-haired, craggy-faced titular Machete with a combination of swift ferocity and baleful kindliness. And the ladies love it…

Review of Machete (2010)

By Laura Clifford (2,742) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 01 Sep 2010

Perhaps most surprising is that Rodriguez has done for Robert DeNiro what his frequent collaborator Quentin Tarrantino has done for many far…

Review of Machete (2010)

By William Goss (413) for Cinematical (752) on 01 Sep 2010

Robert Rodriguez has expanded that two-minute dose of goofy Mexploitation thrills into a somewhat ungainly, but mostly fun 105 minutes…

Review of Machete (2010)

By Luke Y. Thompson (1,447) for E! Online (838) on 01 Sep 2010

There's still a lot of fun to be had when he actually does pick up that signature blade and start chopping, but when it comes to Trejo taking…

Review of Machete (2010)

By Preston Jones (32) for Dallas Morning News (1,592) on 01 Sep 2010

A loud, giddy, carnal blast from one of cinema's most relentless schlock auteurs…

Review of Machete (2010)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 01 Sep 2010

The whole thing is monumentally gruesome and just as monumentally cynical, a riot of grisly cliches designed to titillate and amuse…

Review of Machete (2010)

By Justin Strout (143) for Orlando Weekly (1,048) on 01 Sep 2010

Rodriguez miscalculates his audience's desires at every turn, flogging the material thoroughly until it's as ugly and unpleasant as a movie can be…

Review of Machete (2010)

By Shawn Levy (1,238) for Oregonian (1,550) on 01 Sep 2010

What Machete does have -- and what saves it from itself -- is comic bloodthirst, shameless vulgarity and the determination of Rodriguez and…

Review of Machete (2010)

By Peter Howell (1,731) for Toronto Star (3,601) on 01 Sep 2010

There's a fine line between clever and stupid, as the Spinal Tap lads reminded us, and Machete grinds that line on a razor's edge…

Review of Machete (2010)

By Joe Neumaier (1,294) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 01 Sep 2010

So now we have a full-length Machete movie, and it turns out that, as usual, less is more…

Review of Machete (2010)

By Tom Horgen (28) for Minneapolis Star Tribune (2,416) on 01 Sep 2010

It's absurd, absolutely insane and a lot of fun…

Review of Machete (2010)

By Tirdad Derakhshani (358) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 01 Sep 2010

A maniacal, over-the-top, daring, and insanely funny satire of the American cultus from Hollywood to Madison Avenue to Pennsylvania Avenue,…

Review of Machete (2010)

By James Rocchi (1,075) for MSN Movies (470) on 01 Sep 2010

Machete is gratuitously smutty, sadistically violent, politically aware and somehow also politically incorrect…

Review of Machete (2010)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Filmcritic.com (3,164) on 01 Sep 2010

Rodriguez's dullest, shallowest, and most self-satisfied film to date…

Review of Machete (2010)

By Ethan Alter (997) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 01 Sep 2010

Robert Rodriguez's unofficial sequel to his half of Grindhouse is a lot like its predecessor--gory, funny and, in the end, somewhat disappointing…

Review of Machete (2010)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for AV Club (2,778) on 01 Sep 2010

It's often stylish and exciting, but the pile-up of cool kills, hot bodies, and other unprocessed bits of juvenilia doesn't add up to a good time…

Review of Machete (2010)

By Rossiter Drake (177) for San Francisco Examiner (1,621) on 01 Sep 2010

Rodriguez emphasizes style over substance, but the sheer audacity of his vision - the energy, the inventiveness, the extremes to which he's…

Review of Machete (2010)

By Beth Accomando (509) for KPBS.org (509) on 01 Sep 2010
