CA., CALI, COLOMBIA and ORLANDO, FL u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEqual parts Tarantinoesque film noir, Greek tragedy plus sociocultural satire, Nicontina makes for a rousingly entertaining 90 minutes. Populated by a rather oddly colorful assortment of characters whose lives, in one way or another, revolve around cigarettes or attempting to curtail their use. Thusly, u0026quot;Nicotinau0026quot; is a passive cast member. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat really makes this work is the quality of the ensemble performance and the uncanny sense of timing of both director (Argentine Hugo Rodriguez-Producer/The Violin) and editor (Alberto de Toro). Diego Luna (Y Tu Mama Tambien) delivers an Oscar nomination worthy performance as the Uber-creepy obsessive voyeur criminal nerd next door. With a Classic flair noir twist, Lolo(Luna)learns a painful Karmic lesson on the nefarious repercussions of his techno-voyeurism. 8.5*…ENJOY/DISFRUTELA!!!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAny comments, questions or observations, in English o en Español, are most welcome! u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/[email protected]”
