Ladron Que Roba a Ladron
Director:
Starring: Lorena Velazquez, Luis Aguilar, Andres Solér
There's a new heist film in town that follows the conventions of the genre and then adds a couple of fresh and endearing twists.
Ladron plays like a telenovela without the melodrama. The characters are brightly drawn archetypes, and the humor's very broad. But the tone is nice and brash.
This good-natured genre piece gets the job done while sneaking in a couple of pointed observations about contemporary Latino immigrant life.
An effervescent comedy coasting on the charisma of its stars.
To make an intelligent heist film is difficult work; to shoot an entertaining sociological study is near impossible. To manage both at the same time has got to be some kind of minor miracle.
