Machete (Ethan Maniquis & Robert Rodriguez, 2010)

7/10
Another fun distraction that pretty much delivered what it says on the tin, I can't find much to fault Machete for, but I didn't love it either. As one would expect from a trailer fleshed out into a feature length movie, at times the joke seems to run a little long and the movie gets bogged down when it, you know, has to actually be a movie. Probably would have been great fun to see in a packed theatre with a bunch of friends though. I was actually a little surprised at how graphic the gore was...credit to Robert Rodriguez for not backing down at all. And it's nice to see perennial sidekick Danny Trejo get his day in the sun.
