Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
cricketbat I wanted a fun, dumb, mindless action flick, but what I got was a heavy-handed political message. Do not want! I like the fact that this movie came about because of a fake trailer, but the end result should have been better.
fcabanski As a grindhouse movie it's a 10. The acting is overall terrific - Alba is only pretty bad, which is very good for her. The action is terrific. The story is terrific - it's crazy, it twists all around the place, that's terrific.But the Hollyweirdos who made it couldn't help but throw in glorifying illegals and demonizing people who want a secure border in America. The political message is misplaced. But Hollyweirdos can't help themselves."Don't take it seriously, it's exploitation...except people who are anti immigrant are racist." Yes, I purposely used "immigrant" instead of "illegal". People in Hollyweird can't demonize those who want a secure border without lying. So the constant message is about people who are against immigrants rather than the truth - people are against illegals breaking into the country.The political message is a -10, so it pulls the movie down to a 0. 1 is the lowest rating. It's a 1.
juneebuggy This was all kinds of awesome. Just a fun, over-the top, gleefully violent, messy, sexy and deliriously brutal movie. Danny Trejo is perfect as "Machete" a blade-wielding former Mexican Federale who seeks vengeance after he is betrayed by his boss and then set up by corrupt U.S politicians during a high profile assignation attempt on an American senator.Surprisingly great cast here that while random came together really well. Michelle Rodriguez is gorgeous as "She" (wow that final outfit) as is Jessica Alba as ICE Agent Sartana. Fun to see Don Johnson again, and I enjoyed the epicness of Steven Segal. Cheech Marin, Lindsay Lohan, Jeff Fahey also turn up. Really the only cast member I felt didn't fit in was Robert DeNiro.I laughed several times during this and enjoyed the badass-ed-ness of Danny Trejo. I also loved that he always got the girl. The final (very bloody) battle is beyond epic with Machete on the motorcycle, propelled through an explosion and taking out the bad guys with a huge gun. Bullets and bloodshed galore.
RbDeraj While I enjoyed the fake trailer in Grindhouse and looked forward to the full length film, this turned out to be a real disappointment. It started out well, but after the title sequence quickly went downhill. The storyline wasn't very good and the liberal criticism of conservative views on immigration (while its purpose was humor) was just was too much. They were just beating the dead horse after a while. I didn't expect the acting to be top notch especially from some like Lindsay Lohan or Jessica Alba, but it was even worse than I imagined even from Robert De Niro. As highly esteemed as he is I can't see why he chose to be in a film like this. The effects weren't good even if you enjoy and wanted to see over-the-top gore and violence which is some of the draw towards this movie in a dark sinister type of way. The action just seemed stupid after a while and towards the end I was just waiting for the film to be over. Que horrible y decepcionante!
