Title: Machete
Post by: lugaru on September 06, 2010, 05:01:29 AM
As un Mexicano I was ofended when I watched the Trailer (no subtletly to the border dispute) but having watched the move he pulled EVERYTHING off about as well as he could despite the awful idea. Well directed, well edited, even the predictable jokes have good timing. I wish Trejo could have gone more crazy with the machete overkill but thanks to Rodriguez this movie has the inventive violence that stuff like Expendibles  lacked... very fun, not that derivative. Lots of sex, violence and guacarock and roll.

+ Weed Whacker scene, overall the movie is violent but not that over the top except for the guts.
+ Michele Rodriguez looking HAAAWT
+ Generally funny and edited to work with the fake trailer
- less nasty than Once upon a Time in Mexico or even Desperado making the ending into not that much of a war
- Danny seems old, even if he can still kick butt

Yes, yes she does.

Otherwise, all I can say is that this movie totally appealled to my evil side, and I seriously hope that there is a sequal.

This one was slipped under the radar.  I didn't hear about this until a week and a half ago.  I might go see this one.

So, I know this is a family friendly forum and all, but I am sad to not see more love here. This movie was everything The Expendables should have been. I see lug mentions that first post, but I thought I would reiterate.

B to the W action fun, with a killer soundtrack. And I hope Lindsay Lohan gets a spin off...

To me its was a fun action parody but the Expendables was much cooler. That being said it was definately worth seeing if you're into the uber violence and over the top action that's bloody but really can't be taken vaguely seriously.

Me and the girl saw it last week. Awesome. Cheech was good as well as Don Johnson and Deniro. Seagall was Seagall. Nothing special.
