Killing Cabos (2004)

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This is a very entertaining films which is similar in pace and style to Snatch and "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels". There are many improbable situations and improbable characters. But it still has small hold on reality so it never becomes idiotic. It is still a big madcap adventure in which lot of stuff goes.The pace of the movie is fantastic and there is always something happening. There is lot of violence and sex. Lot of bad things happen but it is always funny and I don't mean smiling black comedy funny, I mean ha ha funny.Acting is very balanced, there are many good characters but none of the actors have tried to outshine others. A must see movie if you like Guy Ritchie's brand of cinema.

Diversión garantizada Fun for sureFunny from beginning to end, with great references to the classic Mexican wrestling cinema (el santo) and very interesting characters, being "mascarita" and the cannibal unique, all mix up in a movie that in my opinion didn't had many expectations, but at the end it was all worth, really entertaining.Also, even though the acting from Tony and Kristoff is not Oscar winning, is light but adjusts to the characters, simple and stupid, and don't forget "butcher", a kind of nice psycho trying to avenge his father and being such a funny villain. 8/10

If you liked 'Snatch', 'Pulp Fiction' or 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels', then you're in for a treat! This is such a great movie! It's the story of two guys in the night in serious trouble. They have one body, one car and absolutely no idea of what to do with them. I won't say more, but I can tell you, you have to see this movie, it is a perfectly well done piece of movie making and as a bonus you get to see a De Niro's memorable line acted by a Mexican, what can I say? it's hilarious. It's a different, refreshing and funny way of making movies, specially for a Mexican movie. Don't miss it, you won't regret to see this if you have the opportunity. Superb!!! 9 out 10.

"Matando Cabos" is the title of Alejandro Lozano's debut film, that even when it shares some similitude with American Films, such as "Pulp Fiction" and "Taxi Driver", it stands as a great movie, bringing a refreshing breathe to Mexican commercial cinema.The major attractive of the film lies in its screenplay. The story is about two best friends, Jaque and Mudo, that are involved on a critical situation when they accidentally kidnap their boss, the sadistic and rich Oscar Cabos, and they hide him on Jaque's car. Meanwhile, a kidnapper's band, directed by the son of Cabos' ex-best friend, plan to take him to ask for money. But they take the wrong person and that's how a series of funny events, plagued with a black humor-screenplay, are shown by a bunch of hilarity characters that add a special charm in the movie.Of course, this film is far from been compared to "Amores Perros", "Y tu Mamá También" or "El Crimen del Padre Amaro", which were deeper and focused on complex and even controversial issues. On the other hand, in "Matando Cabos" we have a well written and light story from the beginning to the end.Finally, it's very remarkable the use of f/x for the car-chase scene filmed in the Estadio Azteca, supervised by people in charge of effects for "Matrix", that is the most expensive scene ever done in Mexican Cinema's history and by the way, the best Mexican action film. That's the reason why the film was released on summer, because it's able to compete against the mega-budgeted productions.One of the best movies of the Mexican commercial films that vindicates national cinema with its fresh air and leaves the door open for future indie and risky films that are changing the face of Mexican movies. Great film, excellent casting, very funny and catchy. Don't miss it.9 out of 10
