Very unrealistic in almost every aspect. Was more of a comediy because of it. See it if you want some laughs.

The movie's an unexpected end-of-summer tonic: a trash guilty pleasure with a healthy (if really violent) sense of outrage. It's also Rodriguez's freest movie yet, and possibly his best.Full Review

In the end, Machete may not be all that original, but it is fresh fresh as a steel blade to the gut.Full Review

Austin Chronicle

A maniacal, over-the-top, daring, and insanely funny satire of the American cultus from Hollywood to Madison Avenue to Pennsylvania Avenue, Machete has all the nutrition a growing film geek could possibly need.Full Review

Philadelphia Inquirer

Danny Trejo plays the long-haired, craggy-faced titular Machete with a combination of swift ferocity and baleful kindliness. And the ladies love it.Full Review

A gory, pulpy wink of an action thriller, was spun out of a parody trailer Rodriguez directed for the '70s-trash homage "Grindhouse" (2007). The trailer was sublime. As a feature, Machete is more fun than it isn't, but its deadpan mockery of exploitation clichs often slips a bit too close to being the real, schlocky thing.Full Review
