OMG, Robert Rodriguez should have directed Kick-Ass 2 with this grindhouse movie style, it would have totally worked. "Machete Kills" is a decent genre flick (super-tough title character, ridiculously hard to kill in spite of all the gunfire and hand-to-hand combat, and knife fights he goes through in the movie), with plenty of hot women, and some scenery-chewing villain(s?), and even Carlos Esteves thrown in as the president. Danny Trejo just rolls with all the punches and probably can't believe his luck starring in movies like this.
So, if you're in the mood for such a genre flick, catch it at matinee prices. It does feel a little long in its pacing, though.
I give it 2.5 stars, or a grade of C+.
