Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
... View Moreone of my absolute favorites!
... View MoreGripping story with well-crafted characters
... View Morea film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
... View MoreThis is a very entertaining films which is similar in pace and style to Snatch and "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels". There are many improbable situations and improbable characters. But it still has small hold on reality so it never becomes idiotic. It is still a big madcap adventure in which lot of stuff goes.The pace of the movie is fantastic and there is always something happening. There is lot of violence and sex. Lot of bad things happen but it is always funny and I don't mean smiling black comedy funny, I mean ha ha funny.Acting is very balanced, there are many good characters but none of the actors have tried to outshine others. A must see movie if you like Guy Ritchie's brand of cinema.
... View MoreMy summary may seem somewhat harsh,as so many seemed to enjoy this,There are a few likable scenes,but not enough to warrant a thumbs up from me.Alejandro Lozano directed. It was written by Tony Dalton & Kristoff. these 2 gentlemen also are 2 of the leads.There are very few likable persons in this farce of a mistaken kidnapping.I found nothing funny about the excessive needless violence.Now I do like violent movies,but here it was overdone. It also needed a more likable kidnap victims.I also like wrestling,the few bits here do not come over. I will stop now,if I write more I may have to lower my rating even further.Ratings: **1/2 (out of 4)66 points (out of 100) IMDb 6 (out of 10)
... View MoreAlthough it is not a master piece or or anything; it is good to have many good laughs and just have a good time. "Matando Cabos" is about two kidnappings (among other things) that go very wrong. Mr. Cabos is a ruthless business man who has hurt and taken advantage of many. Everybody hates him. On the same night different people decide to get back to him; but things go very wrong, confusion starts and things get mixed up (very mixed up).The movie is funny from start to finish even tragic things can turn into a funny scene. It's a movie that laughs at the misfortunes of life. It does have some really violent and sexual scenes (not my favorite) but it is part of the way the movie is done. I am not sure if foreigners would like it, it is "Mexican" humor. It's worth the try.
... View Morehi, I assume that you are moviegoer, let me tell you that what happens in Mexico is that we Mexicans think that everything that we make, even cinema in this case is "chafa", that means "poorly and badly done". If a Mexican does something, or attempts to create a product, or actually does it, in this case a movie, then, thankfully not all Mexicans of course, we say that is "chafa", just because it is Mexican. We Mexicans hate our products and our culture. I have seen that this happens in some other countries too, not just Mexico. But hopefully that is changing in Mexico , the proof is that Matando Cabos, did well at the Mexican box office. Of course this film has its flaws, what movie doesn't, films goals primordially is to entertain, this films achieves this greatly. assume this and (Mexicans), shut up and help, don't just criticize in a hateful way. Go see films, no matter the origin or the genre, it depends just in the mood of the day.
