    Violent, vulgar, disgusting and incredibly funny.

    A Spanish-language black comedy with a frenetic style that plays out like regurgitated Tarantino and Guy Ritchie.

    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.
