Review of Bandits

Bandits (1997)
8/10
Good Movie
21 December 2005
This was an emotionally charged film about the life paths of four women, each pulling the group in different directions while fighting to co-exist and survive the cards dealt to them. While it started to get very "Hollywood" toward the end, it still offered several things that moviegoers will find very appealing. The soundtrack offers a variety of catchy tunes for music lovers. For the romantic types, it offers two scenes of intense passion and sex appeal. While some of it was slightly over the top on believability, it was still none the less, a movie that warrants an audience. It was very well made and that can be seen and heard throughout. Obviously, the crew behind the scenes did their part in all aspects of the film making process. From sound to cinematography, to editing, this tasty little film has a touch of class that offers a deeper meaning then initially expected. I just watched it for the first time (12/21/05), but have wanted to see it since the first time I saw the trailer when I bought "Lola Rent" several years ago. Finally I found it in cyberspace and was pleasantly surprised that it was subtitled and not dubbed.
