Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Adella Pichardo Just unique, fantastic and very humorous movie. Loved it!! Is very satisfying and refreshing see talents from different part of Latin America working together in a well done movie. I congratulate the genial initiative!The mix of Caribbean and America talent made it much intensive and more fun. Me as a Dominican consumer felt well represented. Big round applause. I will like to see more in the future of our good talents including Spain, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Guatemala, Puerto Rico and all other good Latin American talents working together in order to make our voice been hear in Hollywood, reaching the same treatment in the Movie industry.
Rodrigo Smithian This comedy is not funny at all. The acting is beyond bad (If you recall "Ugly Betty") you'll know what i'm talking about. The story is OK with a very bad development. The cast is terrible, soap stars from "Televisa". I swear everyone should wait to see this movie on TV, not worth the time to go to the cinema, wait half an hour of commercials and watch this rubbish.The production is good,but he jokes and the script are bad, except from one or two situations with sexy women but that's it. Is like watching TV drama shows with comedy. This attempt to film didn't offer nothing new, is good only for shallow and mindless people who enjoy trashy stars.
tprspan First I have to say that I was a big fan of the first of these two heist flicks, "Ladrón que roba a ladrón". And I know that generally the sequel is never as good as the original, but "Ladrones" was several notches below the first. In this one everything almost seems rushed, thrown together, and forced. There seemed to be almost no character development, as with the so called "bad guys" for example. The film basically explained that they were bad, and then they just appear, and basically do nothing right, or wrong. They are just around. A big elaborate scheme is developed to steal back a property deed from behind a painting on a wall of a hotel room, which maybe would work as a small part of the film, or in a Three Stooges episode, but as the main objective? It just does not come together. In the first film, the heist objective is millions of dollars hidden in a secure vault of a mansion, and the thieves have to figure out how to get it. That was in itself intriguing, but a deed behind a picture frame that is somehow guarded by a mysterious electrical force field? Very lame. To be fair, I did laugh at a few scenes. But I don't think that I laughed at a single gag in the scene where the main plotters of the heist were auditioning for potential helpers. And most of the film was like that, a laugh here and there, but there were long stretches where there were supposed to be funny scenes, and they just came off badly.As for the acting, Colunga was good, Varoni not bad, although he has very few scenes, and Yañez was bad(on purpose?). And Oscar Torre, who was very funny in the first film as a bumbling Cuban wannabe actor, is totally not funny in this one. He has scenes, but his talents were not used well at all. I want to recommend it as I love good Spanish language films, and very few Spanish language films are shown in my area. But honestly, this is not a good film.
subxerogravity I'm not familiar with Mexican Cinema, but from what I herd the two main actors in the movie are superstars in the country (maybe that's how it got into theaters)They play two Robin Hood like thieves who team up to get back some stolen land in a small town in Texas that was taken by a business woman whose family stole it 166 years ago. The movie was an interesting combo of feeling like a western and a heist movie combine.It has it's moments of funny and does pull on the heart strings just a little.But the whole thing felt far too generic at points in the formula. You can see that they could have made it more interesting, but for the most part, they just went by the numbers.Plus selling itself as an action comedy is a little misleading, unless things are done differently in Mexico.They're a lot of better heist movies to watch than this one.
