Critics Consensus

Nicotina has plenty of action, but all that energy isn't enough to cover for the forgettable story between the set pieces.

04/09/2023 Great movie. Love it. See more 06/26/2014 Subtle humour and interesting direction, but nothing more. See more 05/04/2012 Si, pues yo si consumo lo que mi país produce , aunque me arriesgue una que otra vez a televidear mugreros vomitos sexoVisuales como la porqueria de Santos Peregrinos... Nicotina esta cortita, apenas 90 min , pero es suficiente para ver a Lolo y las consecuencias de sus metidas de pata por andar de voyeour cachondo. Esta palomera, bastante entretenida....Lo peor de la película: me quedé sin palomitas! :( See more 03/02/2012 One of the best Mexican movies ever. I wonder why Mexicans love to make movies with cruel endings? Interesting plot and acting was good by most part. Some scenes were kind of funny. See more 06/21/2011 much like the movie points out the difference between "ahora" and "ahorita" this is a great example of the unique flavor of mexican cinema. See more 09/18/2010 fun movie... boy could I relate with the hacker... I mean, his crush on the neighbor... been there done that... DOH. what? See more Read all reviews
