Not reviewed at press time. In this Mexican black comedy that was not screened for press, a drug lord rounds up some badass compadres to rescue his estranged younger brother who has been captured by Iraqi armed forces. The comedy has already proved a box-office sensation in Mexico. At the theatre we tried to see the film, the print did not have English subtitles.
