La rapina del secolo

Gripping, fast pace, well edited, well written, a good combination between an action heist thriller and comedy. All the characters are likeble, complex and believable. Awesome soundtrack, with salsa, cumbia and Latin Rock.

I really enjoyed this series. The acting, scenography and cinematography are superb. I suffered and laughed with the characters, especially with the 2 main ones, Molina and Chayo. Thumbs up!

This is a gem of a series right here.....only 6 episodes but the story was well written and the ending was ok as well.....

The fact that this is from Colombia impressed me as well....

a must watch for Netflix freaks like me. LOL

Very good series. Fast, precise, efficient. Parra in the character of "Chayo" and Tappan in the character of "El Abogado" demonstrate once again why they are two of the most outstanding Latin American actors. Similarly, it is worth highlighting Juan Sebastián Calero as "Sarandino", who is always a good supporting actor who reinforces the plot in the series. The series its stylish and manages to get away from the melodrama and soap opera cliché that characterizes Latin American series. The soundtrack was very well chosen, accompanied by mythical Latin American songs, especially those vallenatos that give more coherence and rhythm to the story, as it accompanies the Valledupar stage. In the same way, it is a pleasure to hear an accent different from that of Medellín or Bogotá on television. I am Puerto Rican and visit Medellin in many occasions and people say to me that the costeño accent is a bit like ours, but I have to say no. However, it was a pleasure to see that they transferred that "conflict" between the "cachacos" and the "costeños" in a peculiar way and, even, in a humorous way. Anyway, good series, which reflects another Latin American story that moves away from the typical "narco". Well played by Netflix.

So this was about the biggest Paper Money Heist of last century. No Weapons, No Bloodshed, No Modern day communication gizmos yet $33 Million(23 Billion Pesos) Stolen. Now let's compare this to 'La Casa De Papel' better known as Money Heist. The series no one was talking about until it made it to Netflix and got ruined in the 2nd Story. Obviously, this isnt grand. It has great set of characters played by finesse, punctuated by nifty Nicknames. It captures the sequence of events set in 1994 and picturizes them in a highly efficient way. Theres enough tension build up that you need an in a heist situation. Theres your regular opportunity, Theres the plot, the design, the recruitment, the plan, the pulling off and the escape. It captures the aftermath as well. This is not a Grand Setup but if you really want to re-live the genius behind one of the greatest heist without violence, give this Short series a Go. You wont be disappointed for sure. Theres style and theres substance as well. Not Fake like the 2nd Season(2nd Heist) of Money Heist
