Hate to say it, but the best parts of Machete are in the “trailer”. Trejo and most everyone else are in top form and there are some fantastic scenes…but all in all, Machete just doesn't cut it. When its a tongue in cheek B movie it is great…when it bogs down with politics it is preachy and torture to watch. Even though the “message” may be an homage to the 70's flicks its emulating, it takes itself too seriously and slows down the fun. And a note to Jessica Alba: YOU CANNOT ACT!
