It seems likely that how much you enjoy Nicotina will be tied to how much you enjoyed the Guy Ritchie pictures it strongly resembles. Those who thought “Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels” and “Snatch” were the cats p.j.'s will likely enjoy Nicotina.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
The New York Times by Dana Stevens
While it demonstrates some formal ingenuity, it is for the most part a tasteless and derivative stew of overdone jokes, chronological tricks and labored shock effects.
Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
Supercharged with an energy and ingenuity that "Run Lola Run" once had a patent on.
Self-satisfied, incoherently busy farce.
Nicotina's lack of originality ultimately proves forgivable. Its glib, heartless nihilism doesn't.
Dallas Observer by Robert Wilonsky
The only thing worse than second-generation Guy Ritchie is fourth-generation Quentin Tarantino, and this movie has the musty smell of 1995 all over it.
The Hollywood Reporter by Sheri Linden
Flawed but imaginative film.
Yields up plenty of opportunities for heated confrontations, wild and woolly dialogue and startling violence, which prove diverting in a shallow way.
