Machete is a completely ridiculous and over the top piece of nonsense. And that is precisely what makes it so entertaining. This is Robert Rodriguez's tribute to Grindhouse pictures, as style of films that never were anything of quality. Rather they were completely ridiculous and over the top. That is exactly what is captured here with crazy action, ridiculous plots, over the top characters, and catchy one liners. To go into this movie expecting something good is like turning on a Sci-Fi B-movie and expecting it to be Star Wars. This movie is meant to be bad and it is. This is a movie made for entertainment and in it Danny Trejo shines. Jessica Alba isn't quite as good but Michelle Rodriguez gives a fun performance as well. This is ridiculous fun that brings back horrible film making in a different way. It falls right up there with the ridiculousness of Piranha and entertains just as well while filling up with a plot that's twice as good.
