Editorial Reviews

From The New Yorker

The other "Y Tu Mamá También" heartthrob, Diego Luna, stars in this seductive Mexican film about a group of wannabe con artists on a fateful night in Mexico City. The director, Hugo Rodriguez, tells a quick, energetic tale-involving computer hacking and Russian diamond smugglers-and the cigarette-smoking cast (they're a very nervous bunch) get caught in a comedy-of-errors plot that leads to a considerable body count. The picture's high jinks, piled-on coincidences, and tough-guy dialogue aren't convincing, but there's a breezy flair to the film that keeps it alive. In Spanish. -Bruce Diones

Product Description

From the producers of Amores Perros comes the humor-laced action thriller Nicotina. Lolo (Diego Luna) is a computer hacker who teams up with two amateur criminals in a deal with a Russian mobster. Diamonds will be exchanged for computer access to certain Swiss bank accounts. Although dangerous, the job is fairly simple for tech-savvy Lolo. What nobody plans on is Lolo’s distractive obsession with a woman...at a most inconvenient time.

Get the Spanish PAL version which is available and has english sub-titles if you need them. It is region 2 so you need a region free player or need to hack the one you have. Google DVD hack for instructions for your model. ed.

I love these types of movie. Never a silver lining. It has a few stories tied up into it with an interesting twist. Can't escape from the cigarretes in this movie, hence nicotina...

This DVD drops in 2025? Isn't a seventeen year preorder a bit long? Won't DVDs be collectors items by then? Well I guess if I survive the Rise of the Machines, the Clone Wars, the melting of the ice caps, and the Clinton2 presidency I can look forward to Nicotina.
