If you’re familiar with this website, you already know damn well that a DTV action movie starring Randy Couture, Billy Zane, Danny Trejo, and, for some reason, Dr. Drew, is very, very, very in our wheelhouse. So without further ado, here’s the trailer for Final Kill, it’s…exactly what it looks like.
“Machete Kills” is a lot like watching a spoof movie, and
not a good one like “Airplane!” or “The Naked Gun.” We’re talking “Epic Movie”
or “Meet the Spartans” here. I won't lie, there are some chuckles, but what the
sequel to Robert Rodriguez’s 2010 “Machete” does is take all of the things that
make the original a ton of fun, and blows them up into an oversized cartoon.
Instead of an homage to gritty, sleazy exploitation films of yesteryear,
“Machete Kills” takes on the madman taking over the world sub genre
favored by middle-era James Bond films, mixes that with an excess of “Star
Wars” jokes, and concocts a bland caricature.
