Action/comedy with eye candy. BANDIDAS is a fun to watch romp about a rough around-the-edges, but winsome, peasant Maria(Penelope Cruz)teaming up with a beautiful and sophisticated heiress Sara(Salma Hayek), whose father has just been murdered by the vile, ruthless Tyler Jackson(Dwight Yoakam). Jackson has swindled control of land and money with further plans to rob one bank after another to build his empire. The two beauties decide to seek revenge against the villainous baron Jackson, by robbing banks before he can get to them. The two lovelies prepare themselves with pointers from the expert bank robber Bill Buck(Sam Shepard)and are joined in the robbing spree by a trained criminal scientist(Steve Zahn). Quite humorous in spots, but mainly it is the jiggle and wiggle that garners attention. The only thing I can think to make this movie better is to have Hayek and Cruz joined with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Cote de Pablo(NCIS)as saddle pals.
