Ladrones

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.

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)

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.

Loved this movie!! So funny and light hearted!! So glad prime had this with english subtitles! Very funny and light hearted comedy!! Mr Colunga is excellent as Alejandro! Cool and funny!! Very talented actor! Some of the scenes - especially at the beginning are so funny!! Excellent cast!! Very enjoyable!!

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.
