Machete is the coolest revenge-driven, gore-splattered, star-studded Mexploitation flick ever!

The movie is ham-handed, repetitive, and rhythm-less -- a mess that's uglier than its hero and nowhere near as likable.

Rodriguez and Maniquis seem to think that trashy aesthetics and a couple of meta-jokes render them brilliantly astute and self-aware film-makers, but remain oblivious to the fact that labelling something an homage doesn't necessarily make it any good.

Basically what we have here is a very silly exploitation film similar to what Rodriguez did with his half of "Grindhouse."

Though it starts off well, Machete becomes boring and slow towards the end as Trejo's shtick starts to feel a bit stale. Still, you'll definitely find some entertainment here.

This gleefully excessive pastiche of an exploitation picture delivers everything promised by its own faux trailer.

I have nothing against films that take political stances, but an exploitation flick? It's off-putting. I'd prefer to sit back and bask in the carnage and R-rated silliness.

First and foremost, this is a badass action film, with not only ever-badass Trejo doing ever-badass things, but everyone in the cast gets their badass moment.

It's basically a one-joke exercise heading toward the inevitable big battle between vigilantes and Mexicans. There's lots of gore, flesh and fun along the way, but it gets repetitious.

The end result is a disastrous waste of time that is as tedious as it is misguided...

Rodriguez plans "Machete" sequels. Here's hoping the next is sharper and cuts closer to the bone.
