The Alejandro Lozano film may lack the writing finesse shown by the Coen brothers or Quentin Tarantino, but the Latin touch makes up for the rough spots.
08/26/05
It's hit and miss (in more ways than one). There are moments when this is hilarious and times when the extreme violence snatches away all possibility of humor.
08/30/05
Commercials vet and tyro helmer Alejandro Lozano is more struggling traffic cop than director as plot's increasingly ridiculous complications bunch up into a knot.

Top CriticProminently placed in Jaque’s bachelor pad is a poster for Down by Law, but it’s abundantly clear that Lozano and company have been re-watching Pulp Fiction for the last decade.
08/25/05
A dirty good time, a hilarious tragedy that paints smiles on the sad human condition.
04/09/05
What makes this movie funny -- and different from all the pictures it may remind you of -- is the relentlessness of its characters' amorality.
08/25/05
There isn't any deep message to Matando Cabos; it's pure entertainment.
08/25/05
A Spanish-language black comedy with a frenetic style that plays out like regurgitated Tarantino and Guy Ritchie.
08/25/05
America has its share of Quentin Tarantino wannabes; why shouldn’t Mexico? Alejandro Lozano is pretty good as wannabes go, though.
04/09/05
First-time feature director and co-writer Alejandro Lozano can't maintain his plot's cleverness nor the split-second comic timing a film with this many crazy coincidences needs to succeed.
08/26/05
Exhibits a lot of energy and visual pizzazz, but ultimately it's all empty style without substance, and its characters are a repulsive lot.
08/28/05
A grimly unfunny and stupefyingly inept comedy.
08/25/05
Top CriticThis well-paced flick skillfully balances all the violence and wackiness.
