Claudia Puig USA Today Lively music helps. But it's more bullet-riddled escapade than an all-out laugh riot. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 1, 2011 Full Review Mike Hale New York Times If you don't get the jokes, there isn't a whole lot else to get, and it's a safe assumption that non-Latino, non-Spanish-speaking viewers are going to miss a lot of them.

Daniel B El problema de esta película, es que falla en casi todos los aspectos. Aunque esta película Sea Comedia/Acción, no tiene casi ninguno de los 2 géneros. Teniendo únicamente una escena de acción, que aunque es divertida no dura mas de 2 minutos, y de ahí en fuera toda la película es un guion que en ciertos momentos busca ser emotivo y no lo logra e igual con los personajes, ninguno es memorable o interesante. Lo que me gustó de la película es que tiene muy buenos sets, que se ven muy minimizados por lo lento que avanza la película. Esta Película, bien podría ser lo que no se tiene que hacer en una película de Acción/Comedia, haciendo mal lo mas importante, tener al espectador interesado. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/14/21 Full Review Audience Member Hay ratos en los que la trama avanza algo lenta, sin embargo, esto se compensa con muy épicas y emocionantes escenas de acción. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member It was so much fun watching this. My only regret is that I waited so long to do so. I would like to say that it has exaggerations for comedic purposes, but I actually know people like this. If you ever get a chance to see this in a public setting, note the ones that are oohing awwing over the leads: wardrobe, accessories, etc. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Extremely funny!!!! Specially of you can speak Spanish. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Also a spoof of "Scarface", this comedy is more "jaja" than "haha". However, even gringos will have a hard time not enjoying this farcical look at a ragtag band of Mexicans. "Tomate!" Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was great. It had the perfect blend of comedy and action. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes 80's action and Spanish movies (which may not be a lot of people) but still highly recommend it.
