Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Michael Ledo The film centers around a pair of modern "Robin Hoods" who agree to steal original 1848 Texas land grants that were stolen from the rightful owners by Miranda Kilroy (Jessica Lindsey). Miranda wants to level the ranches and build a cultural center where she can sing opera. The Robin Hoods recruit from the local residents to aid in the caper.This is a Spanish film, that feels like it was made for TV. It is a mild comedy, with characters. Plot and action are secondary and lack real development. It is rated PG-13, although I though PG was more suitable with the lack of sex or nudity and the mild swearing...s@#t. Jackie (Cristina Rodlo) is overly intelligent and has a ranch hand boyfriend (Vadhir Derbez) clearly just for his looks. The characters are enjoyable, the plot is straight forward with less twists than a Steven Seagal film.If you are looking for an adult action/crime/drama/thriller this is not it. This is a film most families can watch in spite of the dreaded PG-13 rating. I would think once the original documents were found and filed with the court, they wouldn't be needed anymore. Likewise, once the bad guys got a hold of the original documents, I don't understand why they kept them as opposed to simply destroying them. But hey, I am not a lawyer or a film maker. Enjoy it for what it is.The film is mostly in Spanish and in part in English. I watched it with the subtitles.
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.
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.
drjgardner As a comedy it's not very funny and as an adventure it doesn't keep you on the edge of your seat. It does have some charm to it, but the appeal seems more to the pre-teen group than to an adult audience. The principal actors (Fernando Colunga, Eduardo Yanez) will be familiar to audiences of the Mexican telenovelas, and the director Joe Menendez has a long time association with Disney. In many respects, the film itself is a blend of the novella with Disney.Ladrones" is a follow-up to Menendez' 2007 "Ladron que roba a ladron" which was a film about thieves stealing from thieves. Of course if you're looking for "heist" films, your best bets are "Snatch" (2000), "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" (1998), "Rififi" (1974), "The Thomas Crown Affair", "The Killing" (1956), "The Usual Suspects" (1995) and "Reservoir Dogs" (1992)
