Critics Consensus

Nicotina has plenty of action, but all that energy isn't enough to cover for the forgettable story between the set pieces.

Terry Lawson

Detroit Free Press

A frantic crime thriller that never transcends its influences to arrive anywhere interesting.

I suppose Nicotina is a gimmick film, but it's brought off with such verve it's great fun.

The blunt attempts at dark humor merely underscore the film's cynicism...

Si, pues yo si consumo lo que mi país produce , aunque me arriesgue una que otra vez a televidear mugreros vomitos sexoVisuales como la porqueria de Santos Peregrinos... Nicotina esta cortita, apenas 90 min , pero es suficiente para ver a Lolo y las consecuencias de sus metidas de pata por andar de voyeour cachondo. Esta palomera, bastante entretenida....Lo peor de la película: me quedé sin palomitas! :(

One of the best Mexican movies ever. I wonder why Mexicans love to make movies with cruel endings? Interesting plot and acting was good by most part. Some scenes were kind of funny.

much like the movie points out the difference between "ahora" and "ahorita" this is a great example of the unique flavor of mexican cinema.
