Sweet Christ this movie was god awful. Would love to see Machete try this nonsense in his home country, where there are two kinds of politicians: crooked ones on the take, and ones that end up headless in a ditch.

Considering how disgustingly corrupt Mexico has become, you'd think these directors and stars would make a movie taking on the corrupt police, military, politicians and rampant drug lords, but no, instead they're going after Don Johnson and a check cashing scenery chewing Bobby De Niro.

**Why would one think that? The USA has always been very pragmatic about "going after itself". So long as its still a major player on the world stage (*cough, cough*) such entertainment can be seen as a strength. I, too, think Machete was pretty bad, so maybe we'd better use another example...
