lose a couple more reels

Rating: 3/10 (20 November 2007)

interesting concept, some nice art direction but way, way too long. when the Machete 'trailer' is one of the highlights, you should know there are some serious issues with the film.
Too much dialog exposition glitzed up with saturated color and ersatz cheezy production effects gets to be a drag after a while (and this movie takes several whiles to run). In particular, the 'Death Proof' segment drones on and on so long that it feels like you need to pound some of that Chartreuse too.
If this was cut down to something like 100 minutes instead of 190, it would be a lot more entertaining. Someone needs to tell these guys that less is more and not every 'outrageous' thing is necessarily needed to outrage.
