Quarantine Watch #198: Machete Kills (2013)

Okay… this is one of my favorite movies ever. It’s insane and so much fun. It goes even more crazier than it’s predecessor in some of the most creative ways. There is an energy that only films directed by Robert Rodriguez distinctly have. I watched it years ago and I had to show it to my parents. The best part of it is a character named the Chameleon, an assassin who kills everyone who sees him and once his identify has been broken, just pulls off a mask revealing a new identity straight outta SCOOBY-DOO. Danny Trejo is so great in the role and while I think he's a garbage human being, Mel Gibson is perfectly cast as a future seeing terrorist. Demián Bichir is also such a good actor as showcased here in playing a warlord with multiple personalities. He really doesn’t get enough credit and should be a bigger star than he is. I really want them to make MACHETE KILLS AGAIN or MACHETE KILLS IN SPACE or whatever the next one will be called. We NEED the trilogy.
