| eye Weekly Neil Karassik As is often the case with Robert Rodriguez's work, Machete is big on style and small on substance. | 10 | |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs Proving it's far easier to make a skit (or faux movie trailer in this case) than a full-length offering of the same, Machete has its moments, but it doesn't manage to be a cut above the rest of its ilk. | 10 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Machete is messy, violent, shallow, and tasteless -- and that's precisely the point of one of the summer's most cartoonishly enjoyable films. | 15 |  |
