...but not worth watching unless you're into chick flicks, which I am
not. I have to give Bandits credit for trying to get artistic, but really,
it's a dumb movie with a dumb storyline and pretty bad acting. I
don't usually go around saying things are "dumb," but I really did
think this movie was dumb. First of all, it's about 12 to 15 years
late. 1985-87 were the years to make a chick flick based on a
musical band of runaway convicts, not 1997. Secondly, there is
no balance between art and reality. You've got to have some sort
of realism, or good humor, if you want the audience to sympathize
with the characters. This movie lacked both. The scenes involving
anger were too fake, the characters not well developed, the
storyline too unbelievable (for lack of a better word), and not only
did it drag on for too long, but what a disappointing and spiritless
ending! I liked the music though. I think it was too tame for the
story and not consistent with the girls' characters, especially since
the most violent girls (Luna) is the founder and singer. They
needed more umph. I gave Bandits a 6 because of the effort, but if it weren't for the
photography, colors, etc. I'd have given it a 3.
