Last week I said I should have seen “Machete” and you know what? I was right. Sure, it’s over the top, but that’s the point. It’s an exploitation film. Pure American cinematic escapism. It’s never pretentious and you aren’t expected to take any of it seriously. Yes, there is some pretty graphic violence but it’s almost cartoonish. And, make sure you are sitting down when I tell you this, but there are some naked ladies in this one as well so don’t take the kids. But of you are looking for a couple of hours of simple mayhem and corny jokes then “Machete” is the one for you.
