Machete Kills: Living or Dead?

About Machete Kills

Machete Kills, the 2013 action-comedy film directed by Robert Rodriguez, is a wild ride that delivers on its promise of over-the-top violence and absurd humor. The film follows the titular character, Machete (Danny Trejo), as he is recruited by the U.S. government to stop a madman (Mel Gibson) from launching a missile that would destroy Washington D.C.

The film is packed with a star-studded cast, including Sofia Vergara, Lady Gaga, and Charlie Sheen (credited as Carlos Estevez). Each actor brings their own unique energy to the film, with Vergara's character, Desdemona, standing out as a standout performance. Her character is a ruthless and eccentric arms dealer who sports a machine gun bra and a team of killer prostitutes.

The film's action sequences are over-the-top and often ridiculous, but they are executed with such style and energy that it's hard not to be entertained. The film also has a self-awareness that adds to its charm, with nods to classic exploitation films and a tongue-in-cheek approach to its own absurdity.

Overall, Machete Kills is a fun and entertaining film that delivers on its promise of over-the-top action and humor. It may not be for everyone, but for those who enjoy a good dose of campy violence and humor, it's definitely worth a watch.
