It's Just Art ... Or, Is it?

A Fox News columnist - James Pinkerton - writes of Machete, "The ending of the film, in fact, is a sort of mini-race war, a sort of 'Mad Max' - like re-enactment of the Alamo, with the Mexicans, of course, winning once again - although this time, there are no noble defenders to be found."

But another movie critic - Alexis Gentry - concludes, "The empowering story will make you wish it was more than just a film ..." Huh? This airhead reviewer wants the human slaughter aspect of this pro-illegal immigrant flick to become a reality??

While the usual suspects praised Machete, they were also upset at this provocative editorial cartoon of the Mexican flag (click on it to see it better) which makes a strong statement about how tragic (according to the cartoonist) are the casualties of the ongoing Mexican drug war.
