Nicotina movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: A frantic crime thriller that never transcends its influences to arrive anywhere interesting. Read more
Erik Lundegaard, Seattle Times: It feels lightweight and forgettable. Read more
Lou Carlozo, Chicago Tribune: It arrests with violent bursts and anxious pauses until its three plots merge in a satisfying resolution; its laughs caught in my throat like smoker's cough. Read more
Janice Page, Boston Globe: While obviously not a unique or uniquely satisfying experience, the film still does the job in a pinch, and looks cool doing it. Read more
Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times: Appealing combination of mordant humor and cheerful pessimism. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: Mr. Rodriguez and screenwriter Martin Salinas create inspired moments of dark humor. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: The significance of this nicotine obsession, except as a clumsy subplot connector, eluded me entirely, as did that of almost everything else that transpires in this self-satisfied, incoherently busy farce. Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: For all its zoomy camera work and outrageous mishaps, the film is as stale as a forgotten pack of Pall Malls. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: Rodriguez keeps the story moving with multiple images, quick zooms and other editing tricks that serve as reminders that Nicotina is not to be taken seriously. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: This grisly, comical shaggy-dog thriller from Mexico provides the latest evidence that the international movement we might call Tarantinismo is alive and well. Read more
Todd McCarthy, Variety: Recognizably part of the energized Mexican new wave, though nothing to write home about artistically. Read more
Leslie Camhi, Village Voice: What does it mean? Not all that much, really -- just a pleasurable hour and a half passing, like an extended cigarette break. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: Skitters between dull and forced, this despite the use of split screens, jaunty music and the personable Luna. Read more
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post: I suppose Nicotina is a gimmick film, but it's brought off with such verve it's great fun. Read more
