| Bandits Review |
| by Karina Montgomery |
| It took me forever to get to see this film, and I am glad to say that it
was worth the wait. I had to go alone because no one was interested in
seeing it, which blows my mind, considering the cast (always keeping the
great cast/crap film icon of Sphere...more |

| "Bandits" is the kind of film that brings lots of
interesting notions. There are elements of
quirkiness, romance, humor, and friendship. The tale
of two escaped inmates that turn into famous bank
robbers has the against-all-odds feel of Bonnie &...more |

| Bandits Review |
| by David N. Butterworth (Rating: 2/4) |
| There's probably not a whole lot wrong with the film that a decent editor
couldn't fix (cutter Stu Linder appears *not* to be it). It's got a cute
premise, likable stars, and the potential for many laughs along the way.
But director Levinson seems to...more |

| Bandits Review |
| by Eugene Novikov (Rating: B) |
| Bandits is a fun, uninhibited little comedy, with a
plot that's a red herring for the bizarre wit of its
dialogue. It also offers the rare sight of Billy Bob
Thornton aping Woody Allen, as well as Cate Blanchett
doing physical comedy. How great to see a...more |

| If you start a movie by telling people how it's going to end, well,
telling us how it gets there better be one hell of a good time. And to
be sure, Bandits begins with its ending, but the story leading up to the
dramatic finale is just about as lame as...more |

directed clumsily by Barry Levinson. In it, Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton
play a couple of "ha ha" funny bank robbers named Joe and Terry. Although they
are supposedly...more |
