An Unexpected Find, May 1 2004
This review is from: Bandits: Special Edition (Widescreen/Full Screen) (DVD)
I admit that, when I first checked out this film, I had my apprehensions. "Another thief movie? Does the world need this?" I recall thinking. However, Billy Bob Thornton has not done me wrong yet, so I put aside prejudice and watched, and could not be happier. It is a very Thornton type of movie... about shattered characters just barely keeping themselves together, but at the same time pulling off acts of genius. The writing and characterizations are impressive and, more importantly, have a ring of truth about them. Yes, they are extreme, but it is only in the extreme that we can really recognize and acknowledge some of the latent seeds of unbalance within the minds of all.
Add fine acting into the mix, a soundtrack that is perfectly tuned to the different circumstances of the film, and an ending that rivals the best, and there should be little to no cause for disappointment, provided you understand that this movie is not a typical action film and don't expect an explosion every two seconds to satisfy your latent cro-magnon tendencies...
