A powerful Argentine gangster uses everything in his power to stop the woman that wants to kill him, a sexy mercenary known as "the machine gun woman". The staggering sum of cash he offers for her head sets in motion an army of hitmen. And also, by accident, bursts in the life of naïve DJ Santiago, a common youth that will have to steel his guts against the underworld, and above all, survive the irresistible - and bloodthirsty - Machine Gun Woman.

Okay low budget Chilean action film that wants to be "Machete" or "El Mariachi" but is nowhere as smart, inventive, or funny. The story follows a dopey video game playing DJ who is given 48 hours to find the titular hit-woman after running afoul a local mobster. The Grand Theft Auto inspired missions and titles are fun, but didn't really add much to the film. I thought this film was trying to be a grindhouse exploitation type of homage, but when it throws in these video game elements with various bosses and such, I wasn't sure if this was the filmmakers focus or if it was just trying to be crazy and outrageous, which would be fine, but the film really didn't seem all that crazy or out of control either. However, I will give the the filmmakers credit for keeping the film short, so it doesn't really overstay it's welcome. Overall it's okay, but don't go out of your way for this one.
Frightfest Glasgow again! (note: this movie I would never have seen, if it wasn't at a festival)Okay, I know what this movie is trying to do. Problem is it does not succeed all that well.I haven't seen many Spanish movies, and it being in a language I absolutely don't know didn't do it any favors I'm afraid. I have nothing against movies in foreign languages, but if they are, they damn well better be entertaining. Because if they are boring, it gets more boring when you don't know the language. And this is a little boring. They have tried to make it Machete-ish - that kind of over-the-top-style, but it just didn't work for me.It has a couple of cool scenes, some alright action, but not nearly enough or cool enough action. I was kind of relieved when it was over.
Being sold as Latino exploitation I must agree in some parts, you know, the way the credits were done and the scratches on the reel but the flick itself was rather weak. It's worth seeing if you want to see a Latino dressed in sexy gear and some dancing juggs in a bar but for the rest I didn't like it. It do had some moments that should have been funny and some that are typical exploitation but at the end even as it clocked in at 73 minutes I was happy that it was over. Maybe it's the way that after the credits they entered some funny sentences (clumsy DJ becomes hero) on screen that I thought, no no no don't do that. The story itself is written in 5 seconds and it shows because there's not that much going on. Sure there's action but when one fatty is being killed in a backyard you can see him look towards the crew, Am I doing well?The flick itself has a great promotion and do pick up awards here and there but for me it was just a mediocre gangster flick. Gore 0/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0,5/5
The title may frighten some off. Actually I thought it looked a bit silly. But sometimes you have to try something new.I am big fan of Tarantino and Rodriguez's grindhouse films, and I will compare this film with those two. The look is grim and grindhouse and the violence evil and extreme.The running time on 73 minutes is perfect, as all bulls**t and fill is cut.The reason it doesn't get a 10 is that it feels a liiitle slow for a about ten minutes after 45 minutes, but it compensates with a blast of an ending.To be honest I didn't expect much, but it was 73 minutes of lots of fun, bloody violence and sexy action.
