Machete Kills (2013) 6/10

Starring : Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, Sofia Vergara, Amber Heard, Carlos Estevez, Damian Bichir, Mel Gibson
Director : Robert Rodriguez
Running Time : 104 mins

Machete Cortez (Trejo) is offered United States citizenship by the American President, Rathcock (Estevez), if he kills a man named Mendez (Bichir) who plans on launching a nuclear attack on Washington DC. Machete soon finds himself facing off against a weapons dealer named Luther Voz (Gibson) stationed in Mexico, who plans to set off a nuclear war before escaping into space.

This movie is so over the top it beggars belief, but it’s supposed to be. With villainous contraptions that turn people inside out, 3D sex-scenes that are reminiscent of Rodriquez’s broken film moment in Planet Terror, and some of the hammiest acting ever committed to film, not to mention the unconcealed rip-offs of Star Wars, this will appeal to those who find these sort of parodies hilarious. But be warned, some will not realise that this is a parody and feel that this is a badly scripted Van Damme-esque flick with little potential.
