A pretty well going movie ... a little less intense compared to other robbery movie ... ending is awesome ....
One of the only cate blanchett movies I didnât fall asleep during. A fun time. The other two stars are wonderful
Un film etrange, une idee brillante, une conclusion logique... Le coup parfait... Drole. Pas mauvais.
Tamahan oli ihan viihdyttava leffa. Thorton oli omiaan pakkomielteisena pankkirosvona. Oikeastaa Willis jai tassa jopa sivuosaan. Suosittelen, huolimatta leffan pituudesta. Mutta lopussa nokkela kiitos seisoo :)
a great comedy crime caper thornton and willis are a good comedy match once again seeing bruce showing his comedic side
Fantastic, funny, hillarious. Billy Bob's character is so so so strange, cool and uncool at the same time with all his psyched-up braininess. Willis is cool with a smile and that playfullness in his eyes -as usual, And Kate Blanchet is absolutely ado... (read more) Fantastic, funny, hillarious.

What started as cute becomes cloying and bloated.full review
Levinson must think he's on safe ground morally by keeping Bandits bloodless, as if the absence of carnage somehow makes kidnapping and armed robbery wholesome.full review
Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton may be the bank robbers in Barry Levinson's likable comedy Bandits, but Cate Blanchett is the real thief.full review
Bandits isn't any better than a good formula picture -- it isn't incisive or memorable, just light and amusing -- but it's different.full review
Connects often enough for serviceable value-for-dollar entertainment.full review
So determined to be clever and whimsical that it neglects to be anything else.full review
Like the public that can't get enough of the bandits' antics, one can't help but root for this pleasantly escapist movie.full review
