Critics Consensus

The light and comic Ladron que roba a Ladron isn't deep or hugely substantial, but it's still a very fun heist flick nonetheless.

I watched this to practice Spanish but I found this movie to be quite entertaining as well. This is like a Latino Robin Hood meets Ocean's Eleven.

Very funny, though the idea that you can blow a hole in a concrete foundation wall and no one hears or finds out about it, shoots a hole in the film.

Too silly and over-the-top for my taste. Not even nearly as clever as it tries to be.
