Good the series of Spanish accents that can be heard during the movie, but the movie plot is kind of foolish, They did not take advantage of the landscapes and photography opportunities. the musical scenes are pointless, unnecessary and long, is evident that there was a need to include a hot girl despite her lack of singing skills.

It displays a twisted and surprising script with plenty of turns by Jorge Guerricaechevarria, Alex de La Iglesia's regular writer. The motion picture was professionally directed by Daniel Monzon, though it has some flaws and gaps, being inferior to his former films. Monzon is a good director, a fine crftsman who has written and directed a few movies but with considerable success such as El Niño, El corazon del guerrero or Heart of warrior, his greatest hit : Cell 211, Kovak box, The biggest robbery never told and Desvio a paraiso. Rating : passable and acceptable 5.5/10. Well worth watching. The picture will appeal to Spanish cinema buffs.
Does crime pay?
Although the question I really have: how did they get the bunnies to sit so still in that one scene? And I didn't spot a contunuity error either - I know strange, right? But maybe and very likely you don't care about that (sorry for the short outburst). You do care about the movie and how good it may be though. The comedy factor is ok, but overall this is quite predictable.
Even the ending, which makes you wonder why ... well there is an explanation why he would fall for it, although he spotted a different set up earlier, but is it enough? Also do you really care? Don't get me wrong the characters are overall quite likeable, but also quite forgettable. While this isn't bad and some of the jokes do work, it also isn't a top notch movie either ... it's decent
