About Killing Cabos
Two ambitious friends stumble into a dangerous web when an impulsive kidnapping goes wrong. They hatch a plan to spring the powerful businessman they grabbed, hoping to cash in or renegotiate. What follows is a fast paced Mexico City set caper filled with comic misfires, double crosses, and a cast of eccentric criminals. The pursuit pulls them deeper into the underworld as loyalties blur and the line between victim and accomplice becomes hazy. Along the way, their schemes collide with a flawed system of power, showing that even good intentions can spiral into chaos. Their missteps spark a citywide chase sequence. The film keeps the tone light despite danger, letting humor soften sharp crime and stubborn blunders for the viewers.
Directed by Alejandro Lozano the film brings to life a story crafted by Kristoff Raczynski and Tony Dalton. The cast features Tony Dalton, Ana Claudia Talancón and Pedro Armendáriz Jr. The production leans on sharp dialogue and urban visuals tonight.
