Editorial Review:
Heaven has sent its best (Victoria Abril) and the devil his worst (Penélope Cruz), two rival agents battling for ultimate supremacy decided by whoever can secure the soul of Manny (Demián Bichir), a punch-drunk boxer on earth. These sexy angels pull no punches using their brains, wit and sex appeal to accomplish their missions. Defeating the temptations of the devil will be no easy task, as his recruits are led by the mastermind Jack Davenport (Gael García Bernal). Damnation has never been this seductive and seduction never more heavenly!
SPANISH SYNOPSIS: El cielo envía a la tierra a su mejor agente (Victoria Abril) y el infierno a su peor (Penélope Cruz), para luchar por la supremacía final. Quien obtenga el alma de Manny (Demián Bichir), un boxeador que ha recibido demasiados puñetazos, será quien venza. Estas son sensuales serafines que usan el cerebro, el ingenio y, por supuesto, el atractivo sexual para cumplir con su misión. No será fácil sobreponerse a las tentaciones del demonio, pues sus huestes las dirige Jack Davenport (Gael García Bernal). ¡La condenación nunca ha sido tan seductora ni la seducción tan divina!
Benditio Infierno Reviews:
Not bad! 
2009-09-19 - This movie isn't bad. It's much better than an average 3 star rating but not a 5 star work of perfection either. Some things were a bit annoying to me. For example, I don't know why we had to switch from Spanish, to French to English and back again. It should have been completely in Spanish. So far I can't see the value of using three different languages, it's just an unnecessary complication.
I eventually understood that Heaven was a place for black and white 40's/50's glamor. However, for a moment I was a bit confused in the beginning. Things unfold as the movie carries along so if you're confused just stick with it and it starts to unfold and you'll understand as you go along.
AWESOME AND SMOOTH TRANSACTION!!! 
2009-04-20 - Great item. The whole transaction was easy, fast and professional. Product even better than described. NO SCRATCHES, NO DINGS PERFECT!!!
Wonderful comedy
2008-10-05 - This movie was an absolute delight. The dialogue between the angels and demons is witty and insightful. All the actors fit, and interact with punch, physically and emotionally -- girls with boxing gloves, yes! The sets and camera work are inspired fun, from tight views in a grocery store to expansive views of a heavenly night club, sexy torch singer and all. Even the movement from Spanish to English and back pushes the universality of the theme. What a wickedly comic view of good (and evil). I can't wait to share this visionary film. If you find it hard to follow, speed up your thinking, man.
Great movie
2008-02-19 - I love this movie. I've watched it many times. It's complicated. It's probably not until the near end that the viewer figures out what the heck is going on, but it's an eye twitcher. I have watched it multiple times. For me, this is what lets me know it's a good movie. I don't like simple, predictable plots. I like to be challenged to think and this movie challenged me. That's not to mean it's "sketchy". I think it means that the characters have deminsion to them and are complicated. Equally complicated is how they interconnect with each other.
Victoria Abril, Penelope Cruz and Gael Garcia Bernal are excellent.
Not Gael's best work 
2007-08-13 - The plot was good. The acting was not. Difficult to get through, took me three tries.
