75Ladron plays like a telenovela without the melodrama. The characters are brightly drawn archetypes, and the humor's very broad. But the tone is nice and brash.
-
75This good-natured genre piece gets the job done while sneaking in a couple of pointed observations about contemporary Latino immigrant life.
-
75There's a new heist film in town that follows the conventions of the genre and then adds a couple of fresh and endearing twists.
-
75Entertaining, casually satirical crowd-pleaser.
-
70An effervescent comedy coasting on the charisma of its stars.
-
To make an intelligent heist film is difficult work; to shoot an entertaining sociological study is near impossible. To manage both at the same time has got to be some kind of minor miracle.
-
60The formula works just fine on a more modest scale, without having to carry all the glittering casino sets and A-list movie stars.
-
50The producers have stated that they're going after an American market that supports Spanish-language TV networks, radio stations and newspapers. This niche audience may well respond to not being required to read subtitles, for once, in a movie geared to them.
-
40An obvious "Ocean's Eleven" knockoff, minus any of that franchise's hip sensibility.
-
40For a movie whose bad guy bamboozles unsuspecting Latinos with false promises, Ladrón could be cited for precisely the same offense.
-
38There's nothing so artistic about it as to attract the same art-house crowd that braved subtitles to discover "Nine Queens," and yet, it's professional enough that Spanish speakers will be glad to have a heist movie on par with "Rush Hour 3" or "The Pacifier" made in their native tongue.
