To Rob a Thief	comment	Released in 2007 and following the general style of Ocean's Eleven, the film follows the story of Alejandro (Fernando Colunga) and Emilio (Miguel Veroni), two former thieves who team up to rob Moctezuma Valdez, a TV infomercial guru who left the thievery long ago and made his fortune selling bogus products for gullible Latino immigrants. As none of their former partners in crime are available anymore, they assemble an improbable team to execute the heist.Although the movie language is mostly Spanish, it is in fact an American production, being produced and distributed by Lionsgate, with Joe Menendez as director and Jojo Henrickson as writer.

To Rob a Thief / int_f5d2b49a	comment	Give Me Back My Wallet: Alejandro and Moctezuma in the beginning of the party, at the same time and at each other, just to say that they're still the best thieves. Earlier in the movie, when Alejandro steals the wallet of a smuggler, only to be caught by him and threatened with a gun just a minute later.
