Two's Company, Three's A Crime.
Bandits is about two prison escapees that decide to rob banks in a most unusual way: by taking the banks' managers hostage. Without a single shot fired, these two men get what they want with politeness, and you'll laugh yourself silly at their hijinks. Bruce Willis plays Joe Blake, a philosophy-quoting and charming guy that practices anger management semi-successfully. Billy Bob Thornton plays Terry Collins, a hypochondriac genius mastermind who happens to have a couple screws loose. And throw Kate Wheeler (played by Cate Blanchett) into the mix for a strange but heartfelt love triangle. Kate Wheeler is a love-lost housewife that is looking for a little excitement in her life, and she certainly finds it with Joe and Terry.
OVERALL, I love the relationships between Joe, Terry, Kate, and even Joe's cousin, Harvey. Their interactions are intriguing and are a delight to watch. There's a perfect balance of humor, action, and romance. And the big ending finale is worth the buildup.
FAVORITE QUOTE: (by Terry Collins to Joe Blake) "You're gonna knock over a bank with a Magic Marker? What are you gonna do, write on 'em?"Read full review...
If you are a Billy Bob Thornton fan - get it!
The best part of this movie is the performance by Billie Bob Thornton - I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's an offbeat story about bank robbers who become the sleep-over bandits and pick up the Cate Blanchett character along their bank-robbing spree.
My favorite scene is Cate Blanchett is almost running over the Billy Bob character in the street - he ends up begging her to release him from the car, LMAO!
It's humorous and kind of fun!Read full review...
