Review of Machete (2010) by Kendall I — 01 Oct 2012
My oh my I knew this was going to be awesome. I was trying to decide tonight, what should I watch tonight, Finding Neverland, Woyzeck, or Machete, and while Im sure the other two are going to be great, or at least watchable I think I made the best choice, this tribute to exploitation at its best and Danny Trejo's much deserved starring role in a major motion picture, the acting ranges from superb to terrible, and I wouldn't have it any other way, things are never explained, people are always at the right place at the right time, some special effects are top notch, others are love letters to films like 2000 Maniacs once again I couldn't think of it being anymore well crafted, the contrast between great, and horrible is so over the top it's nearly perfect.
The downside is that the film is draining, the first 40 minutes are so in your face, that by the time you get to the 75th minute you feel like the movie has given you all that it has to offer...granted I found it not to be the case I can see it being a major problem to others.
Im gonna keep it funky with you guys, in all honesty this movie is an 8.5, but I don't do .5's because thats the cowards way out, so im just gonna go balls to the wall and give Machete a solid, 9 out of 10. Highly recommended.
