GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Wordiezett So much average
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Joris F Hard to believe that this flick currently has an IMDb rating of above 7.The language is Spanish, but it tries so hard to copy Tarantino that there is nothing genuinely Mexican about it. Although there are a few laughs, most jokes are very stupid. The two main characters are boring college boys trying to look cool. They apparently actually wrote this garbage, and like Tarantino in his later movies were vain enough to think that it would be cool to appear on screen despite lacking any acting qualities whatsoever. What they lack in talent they more than make up for in arrogance.Joaquín Cosio on the other hand does have an impressive stage presence, but it was nowhere near enough to save this flick. Only in a fantasy someone like him would hang out with boring twits like the two writers. Pedro Armendáriz Jr. was funny, but he only had a very small part. The rest of the cast are about as forgettable as the two writers.Anyway: if you want to see a Spanish language version of a Tarantino movie, watch a Tarantino movie dubbed in Spanish. If you want to see a good Mexican movie with violence and dark humor, watch El Infierno. If you want to be bored and annoyed, watch Matando Cabos.
Jay Harris My summary may seem somewhat harsh,as so many seemed to enjoy this,There are a few likable scenes,but not enough to warrant a thumbs up from me.Alejandro Lozano directed. It was written by Tony Dalton & Kristoff. these 2 gentlemen also are 2 of the leads.There are very few likable persons in this farce of a mistaken kidnapping.I found nothing funny about the excessive needless violence.Now I do like violent movies,but here it was overdone. It also needed a more likable kidnap victims.I also like wrestling,the few bits here do not come over. I will stop now,if I write more I may have to lower my rating even further.Ratings: **1/2 (out of 4)66 points (out of 100) IMDb 6 (out of 10)
zetabosio 'Matando Cabos' is a mixture of the retro, Tarantino and absurd movies. It's a must to all of us that adored the b-movies of the 70s.The story is not pretentiously developed in a way to be unpredictable, it's more like going out in this trip that you simply don't know what's going to happen next because you simply just don't know, just like in 'Go!'. In this fashion, 'Matando Cabos' results in an entertaining and hilarious urban adventure.For all of those who are just sick of all those Latin American movies that just try to "portray" the reality of society with stories around prostitution, corruption, crime and injustice, you ought to see this movie. It's a good way to see that in Latin America they also "just want to have fun".
00BEHAVE-2 I attended a special screening for this movie and I was quite surprised to see two Mexican aspiring actors writing and starring their own motion picture. The premise of the movie is that it was done by people under the age of thirty. Thus, it is intended to be enjoyed solely by this sector of the population. This film noir that uses black comedy as well as screwballism is very funny indeed and it is very inventive. The presence of only two well known actors (Pedro Armendáriz and Ana Claudia Talancón) increases the audience's interest in the plot itself. One problem that this movie faces is that it has too many things to tell and very little time. It is possible for the spectator to find it slow at times, but it's ending is well worth the wait. Newcomers galore in this wonderful Mexican production. This movie represents Mexican cinema that is well done and that has right support. I recommend it strongly. **** out of 5 stars.
