Ladron Que Roba a Ladron

This is a foreign film in Spanish that is very similar to the Oceans 11 movie. In this case it would be called Ocean 7 since that is how many members composed the team. It is hard to believe this is a 2007 movie because it seems much older and dated.

Overall, it was a corny and predictable movie. You kind of hope it will be a good foreign film with something different from its Hollywood blockbuster copy. Unfortunately, it falls extremely short. It is too long for what it has to offer. The twists and turns they try to put into the storyline are nothing new.

The only difference in this movie from Oceans 11 is that 50% of the purse stolen is sent back to the people it was originally conned from (robin hood ending). Not truly an original ending but a complete story just the same.

The trailer was decent, the movie was OK, but if you want to watch one of these types of movies, don't watch this one. Instead, go for Oceans11, 12 or even 13. They are better made and much more enjoyable.







Netflix Summary:

A pair of reformed crooks team up to pull one more heist. Their target? Master con artist Moctezuma Valdez (Saúl Lisazo), a popular television infomercial pitchman who's gotten rich by swindling countless unsuspecting immigrants. The former thieves attempt to recruit some of their criminal cohorts to help pull off the plan, but when they refuse, the two turn to day laborers to participate in the elaborate robbery scheme.
