I was kinda curious about "The Machine" when it came out.  I don't think reviews were very good, but reviews are next thing to worthless anyway.  I have no familiarity with comedian Bert Kreischer.  Apparently part of his routine is telling a story of alleged events he was involved in when he was a college student and took a trip to Russia, and somehow got wrapped up with the mafia.  This stretches that 15 minute bit into a full length movie.  I'll start by saying it was ridiculous, but I thought it was fun.  Mark Hamill is in it, mostly the cast I was unfamiliar with.  I'd seen Jess Gabor recently in "Gringa" and was impressed with her, but she has a fairly small role in this one.  Croatian actresss Iva Babic pretty much steals the movie.  It wasn't falling down laughing funny, but I found it generally entertaining.  It's violent, it's lewd, did I mention it's ridiculous?  Probably over the top stereotyping of all things Russian as well.  I imagine there's not much gray area for this one, either you'll get into it or you'll hate it.
