Subtitled heist movie for teens and up scores.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 22, 2007

However derivative the film may be, director Menendez and writer Henrickson infuse a zippy energy and a fair amount of personality into this tale.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 14, 2007

While it's easy to lambaste a film that's obviously derived from an inspirational predecessor, props go to successfully advancing a U.S.-created plotline and uniquely delivering a story that stands on its own.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 20, 2007

Mostly it's silly caper stuff that works moderately well.

Ladron leans far too heavily on a lifeless script and sluggish pacing to get its well-worn point across. The film's been-theres and done-thats are widespread.

Painfully didactic storytelling.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 8, 2007

Ladr%uFFFDn is slight and silly, and plays happily within its limitations.

The con they carefully plan is perilous and close to impossible, but the outcome is surprisingly heart-warming and satisfying.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 31, 2007

This good-natured genre piece gets the job done while sneaking in a couple of pointed observations about contemporary Latino immigrant life.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 31, 2007

Needlessly complicated and kind of silly.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 31, 2007

The movie is primarily about fantasy, and everything is exaggerated to such a degree that you play along.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 31, 2007

If you want dangerous schemes to be light-hearted entertainment, you've got to make allowances. Besides, the payoffs are worth it - in any language.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 31, 2007

While the caper attempts to ape the Ocean's style...it proves to be a pale immitation when it comes to sparkling repartee and crisp pacing.
