En su vida de gángster no mató ni a una mosca. Ahora, una inesperada chapuza puede llevarle al "hoyo". Elaborada trama de cine negro, bien ambientada y de ágil narración. Sobresale Andy García, listo para darle el pasaporte a quien sea y sin despeinarse.
Jimmy the Saint's business is videotaping the terminally-ill, so that they will be around to give 'Afterlife Advice' to their survivors. He hasn't been doing too well lately and has had to turn to loan-sharks to accomodate his failing business, as well as his expensive personal tastes. When an evil gangster-overlord buys up his note and demands a favor of Jimmy, in exchange for the interest that he can't afford, Jimmy capitulates. Jimmy is to scare someone for the gangster-overlord--really rough them up. Without giving too much away (spoiler), the scene goes down badly and Jimmy and his crew all end up with contracts on their heads for their trouble.
"Interesantísima combinación de cine policiaco y comedia negra. Original y con una atractiva galería de curiosos personajes"
(Fernando Morales: Diario El País)
"Una sorpresa mayor; Fleder deslumbra con un thriller fatalista, pausado y salvaje capaz de parir uno de esos personajes difícilmente olvidables: García-El Santo. A retener: esa cantinela de perdedores que reza: 'Las cosas son como son'."
