Machete

• Action
• Comedy
• Thriller

A hyper-stylized exploitation film presented as a lost grindhouse classic, *Machete* delivers a darkly comedic and relentlessly violent revenge fantasy centered on a stoic, almost mythic ex-Federale. Beyond the over-the-top action, the film uniquely blends politically charged satire concerning immigration and border disputes with a joyfully absurd tone, showcasing shockingly brutal action sequences underscored by a playful awareness of its own ridiculousness. It’s not simply a revenge tale, but a gleefully excessive spectacle celebrating a forgotten cinematic language, embracing B-movie tropes and exceeding expectations for visceral thrills with a wink.
