Format: DVD
A Spanish movie of punishing the bad at the beginning of a third millennium presents already a bit out-dated computer used to spying over sexy neighbour and hacking Swiss banks by a geek looking rather infantile and asexual.

Murdering, blood, money, dimonds, Russian mafia-and everyone gets what deserves.

The movie is not bad but the DVD transfer sucks. I would give the movie four stars, zero for DVD quality. The main feature, six trailers, and two language tracks are all on a single-layer disk (4.7GB) with a lot of room to spare, so the bit rate must be extremely low.

This is one of my favorite Mexican movies, despite the fact that I'm not a Diego Luna fan. I love this movie!

Nicotina: 5 out of 10: Nicotina represents a black comedy tradition that has been alive and well in Mexico for over fifty years. The tradition is that death is around every corner and it is a punch line. In this tradition, the men are often womanizers while the women are often just as naughty. Director Hugo Rodríguez and Writer Martín Salinas took this beloved tradition and married it to its distant cousin, the Quentin Tarantino crime film.

It is a decent fit. The basic plot is that a Mexican criminal gang is trading computer bank codes for diamonds with a Russian gang. I do not think I am spoiling anything by pointing out that not everything goes as planned. The two criminal gangs end up involving the computer geek that downloaded the data. His next door neighbor, a sexy and promiscuous cellist, played by Marta Belaustegui; her conductor, a potential sugar daddy: a plant toting upstairs neighbor: a pharmacist couple, with a beautiful saintly wife played admirably by Carmen Madrid: and a beauty shop couple, with an evil harridan wife played chillingly by Rosa María Bianchi: plus the occasional police officer and a scary dog.

Some of the camera tricks can be fancy without any underling purpose, and I have not seen this much pastel neon on buildings, since that Don Johnson episode of True Hollywood Stories. Overall, however the film is nice. It is a pleasant, good time. It is not particularly scary, thrilling, funny, sexy, or clever and that is it's only real fault. There is nothing terrible memorable in the ninety odd minutes of movie.

Oh and do not watch if you are trying to quit smoking. I have never seen a movie so relentless in its promotion of tobacco. It is like watching Eat Drink Man Woman while trying to diet,

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...
