Nicotina Reviews
Seattle Times
Erik Lundegaard
It feels lightweight and forgettable.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
A frantic crime thriller that never transcends its influences to arrive anywhere interesting.
Boston Globe
Janice Page
While obviously not a unique or uniquely satisfying experience, the film still does the job in a pinch, and looks cool doing it.
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
Appealing combination of mordant humor and cheerful pessimism.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
Rodríguez 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.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
This grisly, comical shaggy-dog thriller from Mexico provides the latest evidence that the international movement we might call Tarantinismo is alive and well.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Lightweight but enjoyable entertainment.
Dallas Morning News
Philip Wuntch
Mr. Rodriguez and screenwriter Martin Salinas create inspired moments of dark humor.
Chicago Tribune
Lou Carlozo
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.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
The blunt attempts at dark humor merely underscore the film's cynicism...
Arizona Daily Star
Phil Villarreal
Will have to settle for being known as the Mexican 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
The smoke that powers the film's narrative is a whole lot of hot air.
Los Angeles Alternative
Jay Antani
Nicotina feels so comfortably middle-of-the-road...that it makes us ponder the purpose of its very existence and makes the task of reviewing it an absolute redundancy.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Skitters between dull and forced, this despite the use of split screens, jaunty music and the personable Luna.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
I suppose Nicotina is a gimmick film, but it's brought off with such verve it's great fun.
Newark Star-Ledger
Lisa Rose
For all its zoomy camera work and outrageous mishaps, the film is as stale as a forgotten pack of Pall Malls.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
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.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Recognizably part of the energized Mexican new wave, though nothing to write home about artistically.
Village Voice
Leslie Camhi
What does it mean? Not all that much, really -- just a pleasurable hour and a half passing, like an extended cigarette break.
