Robert Rodriguez, when it comes to movies and damn exciting action over the top, is now a certainty. After the dazzling gems like "Desperado (who will review as soon as possible), From Dusk Till Dawn and Planet Terror, the Mexican filmmaker returns to delight lovers of trash cinema with Machete, which for me was a welcome surprise.
The plot sees as the focal point of the unfolding of revenge Machete Cortez, a former federal placed on the ropes twice by a powerful drug trafficker and an unscrupulous politician. As the name suggests, we will have a marked predilection for the weapon, element with which the director manages to put on-screen sequences worthy of the best cinema of exploitation and splatter. Memorable, fun and spectacular scene in which Machete scars on his face opponents using a variety of scalpel attached to a thin rope of cloth, then use the intestines of one of them to rappel from a window.
The finest critics might say that Machete also has a social message, as the background and wave of illegal immigration issues and the low social conditions of Mexicans in the United States. But I maintain that this is just an excuse is necessary for the plot, partly because these issues are only mentioned and never thoroughly investigated.
Visually, Moreover, the film is a masterpiece, a tribute to the cinema of the 70s so popular B Series by Robert Rodriguez. Even the graphics filters and special effects are a direct derivation of that now used forty years ago. Real treat is the addition of 'effect' old film 'that further appeal to the visual aspect. In line with the standards of that film are the music, now hear a thousand times but able to feel at home the fans of that kind of cinema.
To embellish all involved then a stellar cast, which includes, besides the mythological Danny Trejo, people like Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan, Michelle Rodriguez, Don Johnson, Steven Seagal. Not to mention then the "repeat offenders", present in all the films a bit of Rodriguez, Tom Savini and Cheech Martin.
short, I found a tasty Machete drenched action film, with moments ranging from the epic, exalting passing for real gags born exaggeration of certain situations. Add to that a lot of women are super sexy (in that regard, I reviewed a lot of Michelle Rodriguez) and cars with hydraulic suspension (halfway between the legendary and amusing scene coerteo of Mexicans who go to the revolt by blasting the suspension of their cadillac ) and you'll get is one of the best action movies of the last shine. I would be tempted to tie a 9, but I think the sin of bigotry, since I am a fan of this type of cinema. Then, roared toward the Texas sunset, I can only give a vote of leggermetente lower but equally prestigious: 8.5.
[ 8.5 ]
