I am aware that Rodriguez isn't some kind of marvelous director who makes classics on every turn. Still, I'm thankful to the guy for giving us "Spy Kids", "El Mariachi", "Desperado" and "Once Upon a Time in Mexico". That collaboration with Tarantino is good, but I don't count it as solo work, same as "Sin city". And then he makes a movie based on a trailer featured in a "Grindhouse", a mentioned collaboration with Tarantino, which features Danny Trejo as a machete wielding anti-hero. Film is a classic exploitation movie, with a lot of action, gore, nudity and cheesy characters. And all of that is intended. If that seems fun, then I recommend that you watch it. If that seems tasteless (it is) and like wasting of time, don't watch it. Easy as that. It's a fun way to spend some time and that's all :D 7.5/10 from me :D
