Machete (2010)
Okay I really wanted to like this movie. I'm a big fan of those "grind house" movies, and I have fond memories watching them in theaters that were far from stellar, but Machete is in no way a "grind house" film. It tries and fails miserable. First off grind house movies were made with so little money the producers of those films had to come up with ways to exploit them. A scene that would get audience's tongues talking about. Here the filmmakers of Machete have enough money to do what they want and they do it poorly. The movie tries so hard, and doesn't even come close. The film is played way over the top, and it suffers from it. Robert Rodriguez who is the director or co-director of the film does it all, and throws everything and the kitchen sink into the film. The pacing seems all wrong, and it goes from one preposterous scene to another. What also takes away from the movie is the actors themselves. D...
