Nicotina *

Director: Hugo Rodríguez

Year: 2003

Writers: Martín Salinas

Cinematographer: Marcelo Laccarino

Couldn't complete this film because the production quality was so poor. It looks like a good university production, but not a serious film.

This film wants to be a cool, underworld of crime in Mexico City film. It wants to be gritty, but isn't. It gets bogged down by doing things we've seen before, and has nothing new to contribute. The production quality is low. It wants to be the mexican "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" but just because it tries to be that, doesn't mean it is.

I suggest you rent "Matando Cabos" if you want to see a really fun mexican version of those Guy Ritchie films.
