Machete Kills

It started out as a kind of joke, with director Robert Rodriguez filming a trailer for a fictional movie called Machete to be part of the grind house experience that he and Quentin Tarantino were trying to recreate with their double feature called Grindhouse.  Six years and two actual movies later, Machete is still kind of a joke, one that people with a certain sense of cinematic humor will never grow tired of. In this edition of the story, Machete (Danny Trejo) is recruited by the President (an hilarious Charlie Sheen billed as Carlos Estevez) to go to Mexico and assassinate a crazed terrorist who is threatening to nuke America unless they help bring peace to Mexico.  What follows is a series of increasingly absurd action sequences that only seem to exist to up the ante in ways that Machete can kill bad guys. By the time he kills a guy by throwing his intestines into the rotating blades of a helicopter, you will know if you have the sense of humor (or the stomach) to watch the rest of the show.
