Robert Rodriguez – „Hypnotic“ (2023)
Sci-Fi, Hypnose, Paranoia, perfekte Kulissen – doch alles wirkt irgendwie gezügelt, so als hätte die Zeit selbst jede kreative Wildheit eingefroren. Figuren stolpern durch Räume, die kontrolliert, aber leer sind. Die Spannung liegt hier nicht in der Action, sondern in der Reflexion einer Sehnsucht, und in meiner Erinnerung, an das, was verpasst wurde. Ein Thriller über Kontrolle und die Schwere der Vergangenheit seines Regisseurs, die sich, für mich, einfach nicht abschütteln lässt. (ZDF, Free-TV-Premiere)

As I observed 2 hours ago in my review of Machete, the first film is about US politics of 2025. The second movie Machete Kills is something else entirely. If the first film is a semi-parody of exploitation films. This one is a full on spoof comedy, parodying not just exploitation films, but other things too. By the end of the film, the bullshit is so absurd, that you cannot stop laughing. And then Elon Musk appears out of nowhere to send Machete into space.

An exploitation film is a film that exploits some talked about fear or trend in culture in order to sell tickets to a movie that is probably not very good. Exploitation films are usually low budget, badly made B-movies, with a certain charm to them, if you like Tommy Wiseau's work. 2010's Robert Rodriguez film Machete is, somewhat of an intentional attempt at recreating the exploitation film phenomenon. Which exploits US politics of 2025, somehow. ( Rodriguez must have a time machine somewhere in his studio ).
