Machete (2010)

Machete

This one reminds me a lot of Crank. It's loud, it's brainless and it's fun. Maybe if you can swallow the first two in a movie, then you stand the chance to be entertained as we get to the third attribute of the movie.

When I saw this I saw it back to back with Predators, Tomb Raider and Transformers, Revenge of the fallen. Talk about a whole lot of Loud Nothings! Almost had 30% of the neurons in the brain die off! This movie however is better in my books compared to the pretentious Predators and Transformers as it knew what it was and did not for one second take itself seriously.

Some notable parts include the scene where a 'smart' henchman comes into contact with our protagonist. The dialog is hilarious! It sagged and slowed down a bit in the middle as it lost focus a bit and this part dragged on for me. Until the end though it picked back up steam and raged on to a blast of a finish.

6.5/10 for this one!
