Fringes of Horror: Machete Kills (2013)

The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Machete Kills (2013)

Starring: Danny Trejo, Amber Heard, Sofia Vega, Demien Birchir, Michelle Rodriguez, Charlie Sheen, Mel Gibson, Tom Savini, Antonio Banderas, Walton Goggins, Cuba Gooding Jr., Lady Gaga, Vanessa Hudgens, William Sandler, Jessica Alba
Director: Robert Rodriguez

Premise:
Machete is hired by the President of the United States to stop a Mexican revolutionary who is threatening the US with missiles. Machete does the job and uncovers a bigger conspiracy.

My Take:
An all star cast of cameos looks like they are having fun with the outlandish and over the top material. And perhaps that is the point, but I feel one movie would have been plenty (though a third looks to be a possibility). If you have seen the first movie then this is more of the same... lots of blood spray and gun fire.

Rating: Warning (unless your in the mood)
