Machete Kills (2013)
Country: US/RUS
Technical: col 107m
Director: Robert Rodriguez
Cast: Danny Trejo, Mel Gibson, Demian Bichir, Amber Heard, Michelle Rodriguez, Sofía Vergara, Charlie Sheen
Synopsis:
Machete is hired by the President to take out a Mexican federal agent turned criminal psychopath, who has a nuclear missile launching device wired to his heart. In fact, he is the pawn of a megalomaniac US arms manufacturer.
Review:
X-rated Austin Powers fare, this even recycles some of the jokes. Every female character is an opportunity for leering camera angles, and the extravagant mayhem might also have been conceived by sniggering schoolboys. Cynical cheapjack drive-in entertainment in the Rodriguez style, but without his dry humour in evidence. A far cry from El Mariachi.
