Oscar Cabos, a multimillionaire tycoon, is being held for ransom--only his captors have nabbed the wrong man. Now, to get their money, they must find the real Cabos--which could get tricky since he's been counter-kidnapped by his future son-in-law and impersonated by his childhood friend (now his janitor), Nacho.

Miami Herald by Marta Barber
Far from perfect, but for those willing to laugh at the darker side of life, especially Latin American life, it is fun.

The Hollywood Reporter by Michael Rechtshaffen
A Spanish-language black comedy with a frenetic style that plays out like regurgitated Tarantino and Guy Ritchie.

L.A. Weekly by Paul Malcolm
It's abundantly clear that Lozano and company have been re-watching "Pulp Fiction" for the last decade, pausing long enough to pick up the fluid rhythms of "Y Tu Mamá También" and "Amores Perros" while completely missing those films' social and political edges.

Variety by Robert Koehler
A perfect example of the sad trend in contempo Latin American filmmaking to imitate old Tarantino with only a fraction of the stylistic cojones, frantic comedy dealing with two pairs of confused guys and one pair of kidnap victims is an empty exercise that loses its juice before first reel's end.

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
A grimly unfunny and stupefyingly inept comedy.
