Alyx Vesey Bitch Media Despite its sticky ethics and crude slapstick, I thought Bandidas was fun. Jan 11, 2021 Full Review Joe Leydon Variety A nominal action-comedy that fails to provide either excitement or amusement. Jan 10, 2007 Full Review Randy Cordova Arizona Republic Silly, breezy fun, fueled by playful chemistry between its charismatic, appealing stars. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 12, 2006 Full Review Grant Rosenberg Screen International After a while the derivative, predictable plot turns and umpteenth cliched joke ensure that Bandidas never quite thrills as much as it could have. Sep 8, 2020 Full Review Alberto Abuín Espinof A shameful cinematic exemplar, which discredits the cinema itself. [Full Review in Spanish] Feb 13, 2020 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid Bandidas comes from writer/producer Luc Besson, and it has the same kind of brisk, lightweight comic action as films like Wasabi (2001) and The Transporter (2002).

Paul M It would have been a better movie without Dwight Yoakum's lousy acting. 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 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 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 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/20/23 Full Review Angel P Salma Hayek & penèlope Cruz FAT TITS What's not to Like? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
