Machete Kills
“Trained to kill. Left for dead. Back for more.”
Premium Crap. CrapScore 70, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Machete takes a presidential assignment that expands into conspiracies, extravagant weapons and a parade of heavily accessorised villains. Robert Rodriguez keeps the exploitation pastiche moving through comic-book action and deliberately excessive twists. The later stretch slows down, but its commitment to outrageousness rarely does.
