Review of Bandits

Bandits (2001)
7/10
Good Entertainment from Levinson
11 November 2001
Barry Levinson's Bandits is a consitently yet unperfect comedy/caper with Willis and Thornton as very different people who are the best of friends, and bank robbers, who plan to open a club in Acapulco from bank robbing money (they're formula to robbing the banks is pretty clever). But a monkey wrench is thrown in the works, in the form of Cate Blanchett as the sexy and eccentric red-head hosewife who tags along.

Alot of good old laughs mixed with some adrenaline moments make this a decent Levinson project, though it could've pushed the envelope a little farther than it aimed to do. Still an enjoyable night to be sure. B+
