Bandits (2001) 7/10

Starring : Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton, Cate Blanchett
Director : Barry Levinson
Running Time : 117 mins

A pair of bank robbers, Joe Blake (Willis) and Terry Collins (Thornton), have a signature by which they kidnap a bank teller the night before they rob their bank, but when they kidnap Kate Wheeler (Blanchett) they both fall for her, and their so far perfectbank robbing plans start to meet with complications.

There are some great moments in this, particularly from the banter between Willis and Thornton, and the story does the perfect twist right from the offset. but the humour that should have been so prevelent is really hit and miss at points. It doesn't seem to be the fault of any of the actors, it's just the script that is a little stunted in parts.
