'Machete Kills' Is More Like Machete Overkill: Critics Slam Slasher Sequel
Machete Cortez is back, and this time he's got the President of the United States for a boss as he embarks on his most outrageous and dangerous adventure yet. In the sequel to 2010's Machete, Robert Rodriguez and Danny Trejo are both back as director and star respectively, in a film that has plenty to offer if you're up for a B-movie spectacle. It not, you should probably heed the words of warning from most critics, and avoid Machete Kills at all costs. Just go see Gravity or Captain Phillips this weekend instead.
Machete Kills Go see Machete Kills with caution though, as some critics are even questioning the film's credentials as a B-movie. As Peter Hartlaub of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote in his review, "Machete Kills is exploitation cinema, in the same way that a teen who pays $28 at the mall for a Sex Pistols T-shirt is a punk rocker."
Machete Kills is out in cinemas on 11 October.
