    This moving film co-produced by Mexico/Spain contains thrills , noisy action , intrigue and a spectacular and bloody conclusion .
    Decent hold-up thriller filled with surprises , sneaky twists , and being efficiently realized . This is a tricky little thriller about a coordinated bank robbery that gets worse when they are doublé-crossed . A Mexican/Argentinean/Spanish crime film about 3 armed men : Jordi Molla , Silverio Palacios , Tony Dalton and a women : Ana De La Reguera . This peculiar as well as tight-knit quartet are the real stars of this movie , as they try to steal a bank , but they're really after the contents of safety deposit box . As a band of thieves steal from a Mexican bank and travel to Argentina to launder the money . At airport they have some incidents , but later on , they head off to Buenos Aires to change their greenbacks into pesos . Upon their arrival the plan goes south and it's up to them and when a dangerous exchange goes awry, the thieves work to root out the traitor in their midst . ¡ Hide your money, the Sultans are coming ¡ . ¡ One bank, 12 million dollars, 30 hostages. And that's in the first ten minutes ¡ . ¡ Getting the cash was the easy part; the actual challenge is living long enough to spend it ¡ .

    Stirring heist thriller filled with intense set-pieces , nail-biting action , pursuits , car crashes , crosses and doublé-crosses and being swiftly paced . This is a thrilling narration of an exciting bank assault with exceptionally fine camera work , attractive sequences , moving escapes and ending confrontation . The plots is full of twists and turns , as when the group deals with the nasty Texan who sends three of his men to carry out the transaction in a parking lot then occurs a bunch of unknown gunmen open fire, and escaping with all the money and they attempt to figure out what went wrong. The picture mingles action-packed , drama , emotion , suspense , and spectacular sequences though won't mean much on little screen TV . Pulse-quickening thriller movie but plenty of clichés , plot twists and lots of violence , including punches , heavy blows , kick-asses and bloody shooting . Tony Dalton stars and writes in this thriller about a gang of thieves who steal $12 million from a Mexican bank . Jordi Molla delivers an excellent performance as the criminal-mind to execute the risked robbing . Along with the gorgeous Ana De la Reguera and the tough as well as intelligent Silverio Palacios . Celso Bugallo plays magnificently The Texan , one of the city's big racketeers and plot to launder the money in Argentina , as he gives them a very short period of grace to recover the money before he takes his vendetta .Other chief excitements about the picture , will be in the intervention of a good plethora of Mexican/Spanish/Argentinean actors who realize professionally competent interpretations .

    Well co-produced by Mexico/Spain by Warner Bros and Filmax and Castelao Films with its producers : Carlos Fernandez and Julio Fernandez . They financed a lot of successes of all kinds of genres , such as Terror : Rec saga , Mientras duermes , Retornados , La posesion Emma Evans , Paintball , El monstruo del pozo , Quarantine , Los sin nombre ; Cartoon and kiddies films : Copito de Nieve , El Cid , Donkey Xote , Manolito Gafotas , Mola ser Jefe , Perez ratoncito de sueños , Los Dalton contra Lucky Luke and Dramas/Thrillers as Cobardes , Transsiberian , Machinist , Bullying , 13 Campanadas , Muertos comunes , Morir en San Hilario, Tierra de Fuego , Sexo por compasion, Fotos , Heroes sin patria , among others .Colorful and appropriate cinematography by Juan Jose Saravia . Stimulating as well as pulsating musical score by Xavier Capellas .This is another superbly powerful thriller movie being compellingly directed by Alejandro Lozano , the filmmaking is competent though the story eventually run out of gas . It was well realized by Lozano in similar vein to his precedent films . He has directed a few movies such as : El Santos vs la Tetona Mendoza , and Matando Cabos , and especially has realized a lot of TV series such as : Rosario Tijeras , Los simuladores , 13 Miedos , Sr Avila , La Esquina del Diablo , La viuda negra , among others . It will appeal to adrenaline lovers and those young people looking for strong emotions . This is the kind of film in which the thriller enthusiasts will enjoy immensely , it's a must see .
