Bandits movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News: Bandits is at its best when Willis and Thornton are front and center doing their deadpan Mutt and Jeff. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Like all the best outlaws, it empties your pockets painlessly, and leaves a good story behind. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: A good-natured cross between Bonnie and Clyde and Jules and Jim, Bandits isn't much more than a pleasant dawdle. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: 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. Read more
Tom Long, Detroit News: Too bad we're ready for the film's final pay-off 20 minutes before it comes. Less is more in comedy and a bit less would have made Bandits more successful. As it is, both the performers and the audience end up robbed by excess. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: Bandits unleashes its laughs in an easy, unforced tone; this isn't a dark comedy so much as a comedy that consistently chuckles at its dark potential. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: A slickly produced, verbally nimble comic thriller. Read more
Elvis Mitchell, New York Times: Bandits is guilty of behaving like a petty thievery corporation; it steals from so many other sources that we're forced to realize that it has little of its own to offer. Read more
Kevin Maynard, Mr. Showbiz: Lock these desperadoes up and throw away the key. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: A screwball comedy in the best tradition, it's easily the best-written mainstream film to come out this year. Read more
David Edelstein, Slate: 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. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: No clean getaway, but offers a crowd-pleasing trio of stars and lots of funny stuff. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: An amusing tale of larceny triumphant, Bandits is an entertainment with a rogue's imagination. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: An occasionally hilarious movie that works (to the extent it does work) despite the director's best efforts to muck it up. Read more
Paul Clinton (CNN.com), CNN.com: It takes awhile before Bandits steals your heart, but once it gets rolling you'll fall in love with this off-beat comedic gem. Read more
Steven Rosen, Denver Post: When actors, a director and a screenwriter all love the characters they've created, their glee can be infectious. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: A comedy that might have made Butch and Sundance jump off a cliff. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Connects often enough for serviceable value-for-dollar entertainment. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: I like movies that don't settle into a groove, especially if the groove is already well worn. But the different kinds of movies that make up Bandits are pretty worn, too. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Bandits may be somewhat offbeat, but that hardly makes it worthwhile. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: So determined to be clever and whimsical that it neglects to be anything else. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: Bandits isn't any better than a good formula picture -- it isn't incisive or memorable, just light and amusing -- but it's different. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Thornton and Willis save the day with their performances. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: The movie has a one-take feel about it, containing vast stretches where nothing much happens. The cinematography looks amateurish, often badly composed and poorly lit. Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: Like the public that can't get enough of the bandits' antics, one can't help but root for this pleasantly escapist movie. Read more
Dennis Lim, Village Voice: Neither sardonic nor slapstick enough. Read more
