Critic Reviews

Michael Sragow

Levinson's quirky caper is rich with laughs. Read full review

Joe Morgenstern

The main reason to see Bandits is celebrity actors riffing with each other. That's not a bad reason, though. These two actors are also skillful comedians.

William Arnold

The film is such a good-natured and easygoing ride that it's ultimately very hard to resist. Read full review

Jay Carr

Isn't awful, but neither is it the tangy entertainment it could have been.

Lisa Schwarzbaum

A comedy that might have made Butch and Sundance jump off a cliff. Read full review

Lisa Alspector

Mined for comedy and milked for drama, though what results is diminished by the very framing device contrived to punch it up. Read full review

Mr. Showbiz Kevin Maynard

This self-consciously kooky road movie about an unusual trio of bank robbers aims for Hal Ashby misanthropy, but hasn't a single emotionally grounded or plausible moment to justify its purely cinematic eccentricities.

Great movie with top actors Willis, Thornton and Cate Blanchett. The plot is dynamic, fun and likable. It is characterized by top dialogues. One of the few movies that can be watched again after a while.

Bandits is the worst robbery movie i've ever watch added with one of the worst love story ever made to a movie, it's a garbage garbage love story played with an awful characters perform with great cast that are just as awful as everything, i cannot even mad anymore, instead of that iBandits is the worst robbery movie i've ever watch added with one of the worst love story ever made to a movie, it's a garbage garbage love story played with an awful characters perform with great cast that are just as awful as everything, i cannot even mad anymore, instead of that i literally just crying on how this thing got everything wrong, it is stupid, it is a piece of sh*t, and it is not worth of anything, if i can just print the poster of this movie just to ripped it off again or burn it, i hated this movie to death, and yes it will might sounds exaggerating but no, i did hate this movie to death, this is an example of a good actor playing like a clown because of a sh*t script and sh*t story, it's awful, i rather watch other bad movie 5 times rather than this, it just getting worse and worse until the end, Bandits is really one of the worst movie i've ever watch, it's a waste of time, a trainwreck of stupidity, it's just the worst.… Expand
