Utterly ridiculous and proud of it, Machete Kills is a lot of fun. It has no pretensions to high art, instead revelling in its high-octane exploits. It’s hard to dislike and more than earns its place amongst others in the genre.
One of the most self-indulgent films ever made, Charles Swann is often hard-going. Sheen and company appear to have lots of fun with the wacky script but unfortunately, viewing their performances isn’t nearly as good.
