Review of Machete

Machete (2010)
1/10
Gangbanger thriller
7 January 2011
Warning: Spoilers
The movie is an insult to all Americans of Mexican descent and all decent Texans as well. Steve Segal, with his badly fitted wig, corset and draped clothing looks like a poor imitation of Elvis just prior to his death. Robert DeNiro, bless his NY heart, wasted his talent here. Great to see all the drug addict actresses taking their clothes off, but it wasn't enough to save the movie. If this movie appeals to anyone it will be the gang-bangers, Mexican criminals, drug dealers and other morons. Poorly written, lots of stolen lines, with attacks on religion thrown in for no obvious reasons. It is totally unbelievable that anyone who saw the movie really liked the it, or that anyone involved in making it, has any pride in the final cut. This has to be a straight to rental movie and despite all the really bad movies that take this route, this one is right there with the worst of them. Would have gotten a 2 out of 10, except for the "attack of the killer cars" in the final scenes. That's when the movie turned from a waste of film to a ridiculous piece of dog doo doo...
