Claudio C Bandidas (2006) Funny and Entertaining (11,723 – 27 May 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) In the end of the Eighteen Century, in New York, the banker Mr. Ashe (Denis Arndt) hires Tyler Jackson (Dwight Yoakam) to buy lands in Mexico for his railroad line. Jackson buys the bank of the wealthy Don Diego (Ismael “East” Carlo) to execute the bank loans and take the lands from the Mexican farmers. Sandoval and his men go to the farm of Mr. Alvares and when he refuses to leave his lands, he shots him. He also poisons Don Diego by simulating a heart attack. Maria Alvarez (Penélope Cruz), who is a farm girl with few education, finds her father seriously wounded and brings him to the church, under the care of Padre Pablo (José María Negri). Meanwhile, the spoiled Sara Sandoval (Salma Hayek), who was educated in Europe, finds her father dead and is forced to flee from Jackson and his gang. Soon, Maria Alvarez and Sara Sandoval meet each other while robbing the local bank and soon they team up despite their difference of instruction. Meanwhile, the scientific detective Quentin (Steve Zahn), who is the fiancé of the daughter of Mr.Ashe, is sent to the town to investigate the heist and ends up joining Maria Alvarez and Sara Sandoval in the bank robberies. “Bandidas” (2006) is a funny and entertaining movie directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg. The plot is silly, but makes the viewer laugh a lot. In addition, Penélope Cruz and Salma Hayek are very beautiful and sexy women and are another attraction. Steve Zahn is a great comedian and responsible for most of the hilarious scenes throughout the story. In addition, there are the names of Sam Shephard and Dwight Yoakam in the cast. Do not think too much and enjoy this funny adventure. My vote is six. Title (Brazil): “Bandidas” My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/28/25 Full Review Paul M It would have been a better movie without Dwight Yoakum's lousy acting. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/25 Full Review Audience Member This movie starts dumb and just keeps getting dumber. I watched it just for the TnA but there's hardly any to speak of. Just a lot of made for TV lame PG 13 crap. It's neither funny nor thrilling. I didn't expect any acting from either Cruz or Hayek. But seeing actual actors like Zahn, Yoakam and Shepard partake in this dud of a flick really broke my heart. Worst part is the movie constantly hints of lesbian love but the two never even kiss. I can only assume they're saving it for the sequel, which surely will be even worse. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Ian W This is not a good film. Without Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayak it is a total turkey. 2 or 3 out of 10 at best. But they are both stunning, and give it their best. You kind of forget about the wafer thin plot and the bad dialogue. Your mind does drift though. If push comes to shove - yeah, Penelope. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/24 Full Review Jan V Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek in their prime, bickering like fish wives, dressed in tight corsets, kissing, shooting guns... What's not to like? Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/29/23 Full Review Elvis D Esta historia creada por Luc Besson es una divertida comedia de western con dos chicas que, a pesar de sus diferencias sociales, comparten la misma finalidad. Penélope Cruz y Salma Hayek son un dúo de hermosas damas que viven una emocionante historia de atracos y búsqueda por la justicia. Ambas realmente tienen mucha química y sus personajes son tanto divertidos como empatizables. Es una película con buenos momentos divertidos y aunque no parezca ofrecer mucha acción, logra generar un rato entretenido. La producción, el vestuario y hasta la banda sonora logran generar una buena ambientación de western clásico. Sus protagonistas se roban por completo la película y hacen de Bandidas una película disfrutable. Mi calificación para esta película es un 8/10.
