Nice fun!

Daniel Monzon's second feature as a director is an extremely enjoyable homage to all those films involving great and impossible robberies gone wrong. It has a fortunate sense for hilarious visual gags and it is narrated with very good pulse, even if the conclusion makes it a little bit longer than one would desire. It also has a bunch of funny, well-depicted characters brought to live by a perfect cast. If you catch it, you'll have a good time.
