    it's a summer Hispanic-crowd pleaser; way better than Rush Hour 3. Doesn't even relate as the biased reviewer wrote. Ocean's Eleven & etc are great heist flick. It doesn't need to take away from a light hearted fun flick as this one was. it's funny and it rides solely on the actors. Like most SUMMER FUN FLICKS. Go, Watch and enjoy. Hopefully, we see more and more films like these throughout the seasons. More Choices in the theaters only enrich the cinemas. Expand

    Best movie ever in Spanish. Clever direction and I love Oscar Torres' performance.

  1. An obvious "Ocean's Eleven" knockoff, minus any of that franchise's hip sensibility.

    For a movie whose bad guy bamboozles unsuspecting Latinos with false promises, Ladrón could be cited for precisely the same offense.
  3. Ladron 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.
