5.0 out of 5 stars this band of bandits will rock your world, Feb 5 2004
This review is from: Bandits (Widescreen) (DVD)
this is your film if you love hip german flicks like "run lola run", rockin' musicals, or chick flicks as a general rule of thumb. here is one film which is as well-acted & well-written as it is choreographed. i can't imagine anyone in their right mind who wouldn't be entertained by this film & i sincerely pray no idiot american will try to remake bandits. so as not to bore you with a lengthy review of why i love this film, just go out & pick up a copy at your local blockbuster while you still can. i mean, while it's still in print. i will give you a few tidbits as to why you should want to see it though. every song is 100%addictive & you will probably find yourself tapping your foot, snapping fingers, or perhaps singing along with these talented german chicks. unlike some prison chick flicks, this one is neither excessive in the sex or violence department so there isn't a great deal of objectionable material. yes, you could probably pop it in with mom & dad or while teens are doing homework in the living room. lastly, there is never a dull moment in the entire film. each scene is as mesmerizing & exciting as the one before so you are constantly immersed in the grand scheme of things & you will care about each of the women. if nothing else, you will find bandits to be great eye candy just like the sleeper german film "run lola run" with the incredible photography. i bought this film in a used vhs bin & have watched it by myself many times & with friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Let the Trashy Cover Fool You, Dec 19 2003

This review is from: Bandits (Widescreen) (DVD)
these ladies kick a**! The Bandits are four imprisoned German women with wildly different personalties who play in a prison rock band. When an opportunity to escape presents itself, they take it, led by the luscious Katja Riemann, a major star in Germany. While they're on the run, a record producer puts out a CD of the demo tape they've sent him and they become overnight hits. From here on out it's sort of "Thelma & Louise" meet "A Hard Days Night", with humor. The actresses wrote most of the songs, which are in English, and perform all the vocals and instrumentation. This is a movie that can be enjoyed by feminists and male chauvanists alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a cool German movie, Jun 10 2003

This review is from: Bandits (Widescreen) (DVD)
I've been looking for German movies on DVD ever since I got one. Ever since I've seen this movie called Bandits, I realized that it ranks up there with some of the best. I highly recommend this movie which is about a group of female prison inmates who use the fact that they are band members to make an escape to freedom. There's also some really good musik in this movie as well, which makes this movie great to watch.
