Pros: Thornton. Blanchett to a degree. Theory. Cons: Willis. Execution. Drags in spots.
Barry Levinson is a hard guy to figure out, especially if you're talking about Levinson the Director/Producer. Levinson the writer (at least early on), makes some sense. Starting out with comedy television (The Carol Burnett Show, The Tim Conway Show)...
Pros: Blanchett and Garity have their moments Cons: Uneven, unfunny, uninteresting
In a movie that stars Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton, and Cate Blanchett, three actors known for bringing box office and critical acclaim, you might ask how things could go wrong. I’m here to help us count the ways.
Pros: funny, little swearing, no nudity Cons: some swearing, some violence
Introduction
When my in-laws came to visit a few days ago, it gave my husband and I a chance to have a much-needed date with each other. We spent the day with each other doing nothing of any major consequence, but we had fun.

Pros: The entire cast, especially Thornton. Cons: what if...
The new Barry Levinson film Bandits has a few things going for it. It has a decent director whose been known for greatness, Bugsy, Rain Man. It has a surprisingly sharp script by Harley Peyton. But the main...
For a movie that would seem to have all the elements that would make it a hit, this one comes out of the ring a little battered, but perhaps still barely serviceable comedy, directed by Barry Levinson, who for all intents and purposes, should have known...
Pros: Thornton stammers, Willis glowers and Blanchett is a vision of beauty. Cons: Sloppy pacing and a meandering structure.
Although a fine filmmaker, Barry Levinson has a rather spotty track record these days. Although he's directed several excellent films in the past (Diner, Wag the Dog, The Natural and Tin Men most notably), there's also a lot...
Pros: Clever bantering dialogue, superb direction, and the excellent comedic chemistry of Willis, Thornton and Blanchett Cons: Confusing, chaotic beginning
Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton play bickering ex-cons who escape from the Oregon Penitentiary to become America's Most Wanted bank robbers in this screwball caper comedy.
After a somewhat confusing, chaotic setup in which...
I was really bored a few days ago, so I decided to go up to Hollywood Video and check out some movies for the weekend. Well it turned out me getting four movies including Robinson Crusoe, Dead or Alive, Riding In Cars With...
Pros: Cate Blanchett & Billy Bob Thornton shine; Beautifully filmed & lit Cons: Surprisingly lacking in wit; TOO long
There were a few times while I was watching Bandits when I thought: This could be a superb movie. A few scenes, or moments, when director Levinson hit it just right. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie just does not live up to these glimmers of...
Bandits is not really a bad film. It's too long, certainly, and contains several elements which were clearly just included to placate Mr. Willis. But a day or two in the editing suite and I'm sure they could come up with a killer cut for the DVD...
Pros: Acting, plot, script, music Cons: A little sappy, but not over-the-top
I saw this quite a while ago in theaters, and I remembered that it was pretty good, but over time I started to forget about it, until one day at work I decided to pop it in. I was amazed at just how much I had forgotten! This is a great movie start to ...
Pros: Billy Bob Thornton can be hilarious, nicely inventive story Cons: Bruce Willis and Cate Blanchett are a bit stiff
The Story
Joe and Terry are inmates at the Oregon State Prison. The hypochondriac Terry, sick of prison life as much as Joe, finds himself jumping on the ‘Ross Island’ cement truck Joe just hijacked and breaking out of prison with him....
Pros: Good acting, Great ending, great bank robberies Cons: Too long, A little confusing
Yesterday me and my friend went to Blockbuster and we got this movie. We had never seen it before so I didn’t know what to expect. Plot Joe Black (Bruce Willis) and Terry Lee Collins (Billy Bob Thornton) are two successful bank robbers. Their ...
Pros: Good cast, well shot. Cons: Numbingly formulaic.
You wanna know the going rate for mediocrity nowadays? I can’t give you a dollar figure myself, but whatever the budget for Bandits was—that’s it. This is not a film created out of inspiration, desire, or even uniqueness. This is cookie-cutter...
Pros: Great script, Excellent cast with terrific chemistry, good direction and cinematography Cons: I figured out the ending about 30 minutes into the film
Not only did I get to see a sneak preview of Bandits for FREE tonight, but I'm also the first person to write an epinion on it. Rock on.
Let me preface this by saying that I was REALLY excited about seeing Bandits. From the...
