Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Out of jail and on the run bank robber bruce willis devises the perfect crime with imperfect partners billy bob thornton and cate blanchett. Studio: Tcfhe/mgm Release Date: 05/22/2007 Starring: Bruce Willis Cate Blanchett Run time: 123 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Barry Levinson

Amazon.com:
Chemistry and quirkiness--and a stellar cast--help make Barry Levinson's Bandits more than just another comedy about ill-matched outlaws. Levinson's deft touch in Rain Man is evident in the film's road-movie structure, which follows bank robbers Joe (Bruce Willis) and Terry (Billy Bob Thornton) on a crime spree from Oregon to California. They're eventually joined by an aspiring stuntman and getaway driver (Troy Garity, son of Jane Fonda) and a neglected housewife (Cate Blanchett) who falls in love with both Joe and Terry after escaping her boring marriage. As scripted by Twin Peaks alumnus Harley Peyton, Bandits shifts from character comedy to crime thriller with reckless abandon, and the humor (particularly Terry's multiple neuroses) is occasionally forced and flat. Levinson compensates with offbeat moments of unexpected tenderness, allowing his cast to express depths of character not necessarily found in the script. A twist ending won't surprise attentive viewers, but it gives Bandits the extra kick it needs. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Entertaining
It was an interesting effect to show part of the end of the movie at the beginning, then explain the story. The actors were excellent for the part. Very entertaining. Humor, not gruesome, and unexpected ending.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Bandits
When first watching this movie, I found some of the bank robberies--though very slick and original--to be quite implausible. If the film wasn't as charming and likable, I'd probably have a difficult time suspending disbelief. But then I found out the story of the "Sleepover Bandits" was actually based on a real duo of bank robbers. Of course, this is nowhere close to a biopic and most of the story is obviously fiction, the concept of these two guys sleeping over the bank managers' houses and robbing ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - LOL Hilarious romance comedy
Although this was bought for my sister-in-law, who found it LOL funny, it is one of my favorite comedies of all time. Billy Bob Thorton's hypocondriac character is played perfectly. What a great performance! It is not only hilarious, but the story line is fantastic. It's a fast paced adventure about bank robbers who take on a "kidnapped partner" (Cate Blanchett)who has a husband who is more concerned about himself, and his job than his wife. Bruce Willis, gives a wonderful performance as the ringleader ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - what a hoot!!
I LOVED this movie. My husband and I watched 3 or 4 times in one week. It's smart, funny and such a surprise. I didn't know Cate Blanchette was so funny. Loved it beginning to end. I would recommend this to anyone. It's got a little something for everyone.
