Joris F Hard to believe that this flick currently has an IMDb rating of above 7.The language is Spanish, but it tries so hard to copy Tarantino that there is nothing genuinely Mexican about it. Although there are a few laughs, most jokes are very stupid. The two main characters are boring college boys trying to look cool. They apparently actually wrote this garbage, and like Tarantino in his later movies were vain enough to think that it would be cool to appear on screen despite lacking any acting qualities whatsoever. What they lack in talent they more than make up for in arrogance.Joaquín Cosio on the other hand does have an impressive stage presence, but it was nowhere near enough to save this flick. Only in a fantasy someone like him would hang out with boring twits like the two writers. Pedro Armendáriz Jr. was funny, but he only had a very small part. The rest of the cast are about as forgettable as the two writers.Anyway: if you want to see a Spanish language version of a Tarantino movie, watch a Tarantino movie dubbed in Spanish. If you want to see a good Mexican movie with violence and dark humor, watch El Infierno. If you want to be bored and annoyed, watch Matando Cabos.

princebansal1982 This is a very entertaining films which is similar in pace and style to Snatch and "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels". There are many improbable situations and improbable characters. But it still has small hold on reality so it never becomes idiotic. It is still a big madcap adventure in which lot of stuff goes.The pace of the movie is fantastic and there is always something happening. There is lot of violence and sex. Lot of bad things happen but it is always funny and I don't mean smiling black comedy funny, I mean ha ha funny.Acting is very balanced, there are many good characters but none of the actors have tried to outshine others. A must see movie if you like Guy Ritchie's brand of cinema.

anneasss Although it is not a master piece or or anything; it is good to have many good laughs and just have a good time. "Matando Cabos" is about two kidnappings (among other things) that go very wrong. Mr. Cabos is a ruthless business man who has hurt and taken advantage of many. Everybody hates him. On the same night different people decide to get back to him; but things go very wrong, confusion starts and things get mixed up (very mixed up).The movie is funny from start to finish even tragic things can turn into a funny scene. It's a movie that laughs at the misfortunes of life. It does have some really violent and sexual scenes (not my favorite) but it is part of the way the movie is done. I am not sure if foreigners would like it, it is "Mexican" humor. It's worth the try.

Raiderfanmarc77 I find it amusing that so many would bash this movie based on what they thought of Blockbuster movies that have come before it. In many posts, I've noticed people mention movies like Scarface, Reservoir Dogs, Fight Club, and Pulp Fiction. People, if every movie was that good, then those movies would not be considered great films. They would be your typical run-of-the-mill movie that anyone can accomplish. The reason they are difficult to achieve is because not just anyone can do it. I thought this movie was funny. Maybe to a lot of people in the poverty ravaged country of Mexico, it's not funny because of the next to life reality of a severed finger and a senseless beating to a sequester victim, but to us in the U.S who have been desensitized by all the smut we see at the movie theaters, this is a great movie. There were some really funny moments in this movie, including the bus chase scene and the romantic love scene at the end involving el cannibal and Cabos' wife. Also, Ana Claudia Talancon was aesthetically pleasing.
