United States	Kyle Smith New York Post	"Any movie that finds a plausible reason to give Lindsay Lohan a nun's habit and a machine gun is worth your attention"	POS
United States	Ty Burr Boston Globe	"The movie's an unexpected end-of-summer tonic: a trash guilty pleasure with a healthy (if really violent) sense of outrage. It's also Rodriguez's freest movie yet, and possibly his best"	POS
United States	Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	"Despite broad satire about racism and border fences (...) the movie doesn't line up neatly along party lines (...) It's a movie that just wants to have fun"	NEU
United States	Shawn Levy Portland Oregonian	"What 'Machete' does have -- and what saves it from itself -- is comic bloodthirst, shameless vulgarity and the determination of Rodriguez and Maniquis to wink at their audience at every moment"	NEU
