Supercharged with an energy and ingenuity that "Run Lola Run" once had a patent on.
A gimmick film, but it's brought off with such verve it's great fun.
While obviously not a unique or uniquely satisfying experience, the film still does the job in a pinch, and looks cool doing it.
The stylistic cleverness of the opening minutes settles into a self-satisfied flair.
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.
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.
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.
