Michael Ledo The film centers around a pair of modern "Robin Hoods" who agree to steal original 1848 Texas land grants that were stolen from the rightful owners by Miranda Kilroy (Jessica Lindsey). Miranda wants to level the ranches and build a cultural center where she can sing opera. The Robin Hoods recruit from the local residents to aid in the caper.This is a Spanish film, that feels like it was made for TV. It is a mild comedy, with characters. Plot and action are secondary and lack real development. It is rated PG-13, although I though PG was more suitable with the lack of sex or nudity and the mild swearing...s@#t. Jackie (Cristina Rodlo) is overly intelligent and has a ranch hand boyfriend (Vadhir Derbez) clearly just for his looks. The characters are enjoyable, the plot is straight forward with less twists than a Steven Seagal film.If you are looking for an adult action/crime/drama/thriller this is not it. This is a film most families can watch in spite of the dreaded PG-13 rating. I would think once the original documents were found and filed with the court, they wouldn't be needed anymore. Likewise, once the bad guys got a hold of the original documents, I don't understand why they kept them as opposed to simply destroying them. But hey, I am not a lawyer or a film maker. Enjoy it for what it is.The film is mostly in Spanish and in part in English. I watched it with the subtitles.
Adella Pichardo Just unique, fantastic and very humorous movie. Loved it!! Is very satisfying and refreshing see talents from different part of Latin America working together in a well done movie. I congratulate the genial initiative!The mix of Caribbean and America talent made it much intensive and more fun. Me as a Dominican consumer felt well represented. Big round applause. I will like to see more in the future of our good talents including Spain, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Guatemala, Puerto Rico and all other good Latin American talents working together in order to make our voice been hear in Hollywood, reaching the same treatment in the Movie industry.
subxerogravity I'm not familiar with Mexican Cinema, but from what I herd the two main actors in the movie are superstars in the country (maybe that's how it got into theaters)They play two Robin Hood like thieves who team up to get back some stolen land in a small town in Texas that was taken by a business woman whose family stole it 166 years ago. The movie was an interesting combo of feeling like a western and a heist movie combine.It has it's moments of funny and does pull on the heart strings just a little.But the whole thing felt far too generic at points in the formula. You can see that they could have made it more interesting, but for the most part, they just went by the numbers.Plus selling itself as an action comedy is a little misleading, unless things are done differently in Mexico.They're a lot of better heist movies to watch than this one.
drjgardner As a comedy it's not very funny and as an adventure it doesn't keep you on the edge of your seat. It does have some charm to it, but the appeal seems more to the pre-teen group than to an adult audience. The principal actors (Fernando Colunga, Eduardo Yanez) will be familiar to audiences of the Mexican telenovelas, and the director Joe Menendez has a long time association with Disney. In many respects, the film itself is a blend of the novella with Disney.Ladrones" is a follow-up to Menendez' 2007 "Ladron que roba a ladron" which was a film about thieves stealing from thieves. Of course if you're looking for "heist" films, your best bets are "Snatch" (2000), "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" (1998), "Rififi" (1974), "The Thomas Crown Affair", "The Killing" (1956), "The Usual Suspects" (1995) and "Reservoir Dogs" (1992)
