Ladron Que Roba A Ladron (Fullscreen Edition)

The central premise of the elaborate heist that hold this film together is that, in Los Angeles, immigrants are as invisible to their employers as water is to fish. I can't tell you any more of the plot of this tightly scripted movie than that, lest I spoil your fun. Oh, I suppose I could mention that the good 'bad guys' triumph, though not as you might expect.The most fun in this film is in the language, and I doubt I'd give it five stars if it were dubbed or if I needed English subtitles. I played the Spanish subtitles, for the benefit of my wife, and in the end I got benefitted also, since much of the dialogue is in dialects that even Spaniards couldn't follow. The heist team includes immigrants from Mexico, Cuba, Colombia, Honduras, Argentina, and perhaps other south-of-the-border lands, and they all toss off jokes and oaths in their own style. One funny moment in the middle of the film - very low key, mind you - involves the slang for 'money' in several dialects - lana, cero, plata, efectivo. There are a lot of such throwaway bits, enough to spice up the "Italian Job" structure, the perfect crime.And there's a heart-warming message for those of us who regard the current immigration from Latin America - both legal and illegal - as another honorable chapter in the American Dream story.

I really enjoyed watching this, and I found the Spanish clear, the story tight, the characters likable. I will watch it again. I think if you liked the newer *The Italian Job,* you will like this. One caveat, if you are watching in Spanish with English subtitles: A few of the subtitles are not PG 13--primarily in the first 20 minutes. After that it's okay. Some of that Spanish is not necessarily PG 13, either, but some of that depends on connotation and interpretation. I did not listen to an English language track--I'm not sure if there is one.

This movie is hysterical. It has romance, humor, and what an ending! There are English subtitles if you can't understand Spanish. Colunga is great as always, and the other actors I've know also from Novelas. The young lady, love interest of Colunga was the biggest surprise. I have have seen here in other shows, Castle for one. What a surprise to see her in a Spanish speaking role, she's Argentinian!! WOW, que padre es esta pelicula, me encanto. I lent it to a friend, and almost didn't get it back...

He is like the Latino Patrick Swayze and Cary Grant all in one, sexy suave and jucy hot!!!!The film I categorizes it as OK and that is all it is. I loved how the heist was planned with the uses of Immigrants, how they stole the money and got away with it. Also what they did with the money. I wish the same thing could be done to anyone that was screwed over by a big wealthy company. Maybe the tobacco company. OH! Or the NRA LOL!!!!!!

its not often i see a movie that speaks on the plight of the Mexican immigrant in the current social landscape in the states that does it in a way that is not super heavy and depressing but this movie shows the basic issues that surround immigrants without making it solely about plights and trying times. over all the movie is a heist feel good movie.

Great movie! Perfect for Spanish teachers to use with Spanish 3 or higher.The Spanish is clear, and with the Spanish subtitles, my students thoroughly enjoyed it. They said that it's the best Spanish language movie they have ever seen. It's a movie that I will enjoy watching over and over, sort of the same type of thing as "The Sting" from the 60's or 70's. A fun, action-filled and sometimes suspenseful movie, that gives you great satisfaction at the end.

This is a light and fun movie. I didn’t buy it expecting Citizen Kane or Fuente Ovejuna, but I enjoyed it very much. “Como regla, no robamos a nuestra propria gente, pero este desgraciado lo merece.” That line from Emilio in the film tells you all you need to know. No gratuitous violence, no explicit sex and the language in Spanish is not too offensive. “Pendejo" and “cabron” on are the strongest words I remember. I haven’t looked at the English sub-titles, but I would show this to a high school Spanish class. The accents and slang from so many different countries is great. I almost fell off the sofa laughing when the Cuban actor character started in rapid fire Cubano. And when the tech expert character tells an English speaking security guard, “You’re in America, learn Spanish” was another great moment. Great fun.

As a fan of Ivonne Montero, I had to see this movie just for her. However, the entire cast played excellent parts, and the plot and story was great. Well worth the purchase price, this is one I will watch again and again.My only complaint was with the DVD itself - though it says English subtitles, I could only get the CC1 English captions. Might have been my DVD player, but did not detract from the movie at all.
