Machete Kills (2013), Robert Rodriguez
3.5/5
Utterly ridiculous this film is amazingly fun to watch. It even tops the first film (Machete) with both it's kill count and the method of kills to absurd proportions. With a highly regarded cast (as per usual in a Rodriguez film) that doesn't disappoint. Cast includes a humorous Mel Gibson, Walt Goggins (for fans of The Shield) Lady Gaga as basically herself, and her flamboyancy fits well with the subject matter and many more great names. With lots of loughs at the crazy plot, both paying homage and parodying the action genre beautifully while at the same time retaining some small funny moments as well. Definitely on my top list of 2013 films, and a must see for Rodriguez and neo-exploitation fans.
