Jace E I remember a VHS copy of Bandits sitting on our movie shelf growing up. I was always so intrigued by it and wanted to pop it in the VCR (I don't know why) but never did. Now as an adult, this showed up on Max and I had to jump on the chance to give it a watch. Bandits is an interesting crime drama with some likeable characters, a little bit of anxiety and some unique relationships. I particularly liked Billy Bob Thornton's character and each of the different dynamics with Kate.. There aren't a lot of memorable moments in this film, but it was a simple, enjoyable watch. Best Character: Terry Collins Best Quote: "One, I had no choice, two, I may have suffered a slight concussion and three, she is mentally imbalanced to a spectacular degree." - Terry Best Scene: Each of the robberies. Note: Like a true baldy, Bruce Willis' hair was out of this world. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Jon Z Doesn't hold up well. Inane dialog. 40 minutes too long. The stunt man character is horrible. Hung around to see the ending but was watching the clock through the body of the movie. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/23/24 Full Review Alec B A potentially fun concept that's crippled by poor pacing. Levinson never really gets the tone right and I think the movie could stand to lose about 20 minutes. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/13/23 Full Review Thomas S Breezy and funny with a scene stealing performance by Troy Garity Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/05/23 Full Review Jeff K This film is good old fashioned storytelling fun. All three leads are outstanding for their characters, bit to me Billy Bob Thornton steals the show. He pulls off the bright but incredibly quirky hypochondriac spectacularly. "Bandits" went right to the top of two of my lists: favorite films and guilty pleasures. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/02/23 Full Review George R Escapist humor either serves that purpose or it doesn't. Most annoying is that Billy Bob Thornton is completely out of his element. He can probably do comedy but it's really not his forte. Because he is not amusing the movie fails as he has a rather large part in it., Bruce Willis appears to want to get this movie over with as soon as possible. Pick up a paycheck and wait for something better to come along. Cate Blanchett is surprisingly adept in her role. The movie is cited as a comedy, but she actually plays her role rather seriously and that in my opinion saves the movie. Because it was not overly amusing from the beginning. Perhaps she was aware of this and decided to move it in another direction. In either case, these are fairly early attempts for all three actors with Blanchett clearly coming out ahead of the other two. But if it's what you're looking for, namely, escapism, grab some popcorn, sit down with your favorite beverage, and fall asleep on the sofa before it's over. If you're an insomniac, your mission has been accomplished. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
