Pros: Intelligent humor, witty, well-acted, characters with flaws and substance
Cons: The only con about this movie is that there aren't more like them
Summary: Hmmm, I'm very perplexed by Vormancian's review. Bandits is a brilliant and hilarious movie that is truly witty and lacks a unnecessary foul language, violence, and sexuality. It is truly hard to find movies like this nowadays. I have long been a great ... read more

Pros: Funny and exceptional actors!
Cons: Nothing!
Summary: Billy Bob Thorton is not really one of my favorite actors and the only reason I know who he is, is because he married my favorite actress, Angelina Jolie. For that reason I decided to see this movie, just to see what type of actor he is. As I was sitting ... read more

Pros: Thornton and Blanchett are both terrific, the film is very funny.
Cons: Willis is dull and the pacing becomes slow towards the end.
Summary: “Bandits” is not the best movie ever made, but it is made with such skill and talent that it rises head and shoulders above the rest of the dreck out there.
Joe (Bruce Willis) has anger-management issues. Terry (Billy Bob Thornton) is a ... read more

Pros: Cate Blanchet :)
Cons: Too slow and long
Summary: Barry Levinson may be the most erratic filmmaker ever to grace Hollywood's sound stages. The talented Baltimore native responsible for instant classics such as Diner, Tin Men and Wag the Dog has also delivered such hit-and-miss stinkers as Jimmy ... read more

Pros: Funny, smart, good ending
Cons: Too long, especially in the middle, annoying Blanchette
Summary: This is one funny, smart, entertaining movie. The characters are all likable, even though they are bumbling thieves. Thorton is especially good as the silly robber afraid of the world. Willis is a little stiff and one dimensional; Blanchette a little ... read more
