Juan Carlos Coto

Dreyfuss' capability for comedy is what saves Stakeout He unequivocally steals every scene he is in, except for the action scenes, most of which are surprisingly bad.

The clever script has a mix of ingredients that include romance, male friendships, professional relationships, and chases. [Full Review in Spanish]

...an appealing premise that's employed to mostly stellar effect...
