Machete Kills (2013)
7/10
Funny and Full of Action Cartoonish B-Movie
29 January 2014
During an operation of a Mexican Cartel, Machete Cortez (Danny Trejo) and Sartana Rivera (Jessica Alba) intercept the criminals alone, but another group arrives and a masked man kills Sartana. Machete is arrested, accused of killing his beloved Sartana and Sheriff Doakes (William Sadler) hangs Machete. But the President of the USA Rathcock (Carlos "Charlie Sheen" Estevez) pardons and recruits Machete to kill the revolutionary Marcos Mendez (Demian Bichir) that has threatened the USA with a missile with a bomb.

Machete goes to San Antonio to meet the Miss San Antonio Blanca Vasquez (Amber Heard) that will be the liaison between Machete and President Rathcock. Then Machete goes to the brothel of Madame Desdemona (Sofía Vergara) to seek out the prostitute Cereza (Vanessa Hudgens) that is Mendez's mistress. Machete meets Mendez and learns that his heart is connected to the missile and only the arm dealer Luther Voz (Mel Gibson) is capable to disarm the bomb. Now Machete needs to bring Mendez to the USA in less than twenty-four hours and save his new country in a dangerous journey with betrayals.

"Machete Kills" is a funny and full of action cartoonish B-movie by Robert Rodriguez with exploitation and references to the pop-culture and potential of cult-movie. It is intentionally cheesy and tacky despite the great cast and the cameos. The beginning is a joke with the trailer of "Machete Kills Again... In Space" that does not exist. My vote is seven.
