I just rented and watched "Ladrón Que Roba A Ladrón" today, and I have to say it's a good one. If you haven't heard of it, go get it. If you have and haven't seen it, go get it. The only way I can describe it is as a spanish Ocean's 11. The actors, directors, producers, and everybody else in the movie speak Spanish so now would be a good time to confront your fear of subtitles.

The jist of the film is that an infomercial titan is making millions by selling unsuspecting hispanic families miracle cures for just about anything, all of which don't work. A group of thieves, one of which has personal issues with the villain, devise a plan to rob said evildoer of every penny he's worth. Yes, pennies. This is set in Los Angeles. Since the villain is Argentinian, and the Argentinian banking system is as unreliable to hold money as a sieve is to hold water, he stores all of his cash in a vault at his home... you'll get over this detail when you watch it.

There's a lot of smart comedy involved, and it's really worth the few bucks it'd cost to rent it. If you like heist films, you'll like this one.
