Machete Kills

Trained to kill. Left for dead. Back for more.

Directed by Robert Rodriguez

Produced by Open Road Films, Overnight Films

2013108 min5.6 / 10

A high-octane, deliberately absurd action-thriller that embraces B-movie excess and cartoonish villainy over coherence or emotional depth.

Ex-Federale agent Machete is recruited by the President of the United States for a mission which would be impossible for any mortal man – he must take down a madman revolutionary and an eccentric billionaire arms dealer who has hatched a plan to spread war and anarchy across the planet.
