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.
This is pretty good directing for a pop rock music video. The entire film is basically a series of music videos glued together with a story that becomes impossible to believe before any of the major plot elements are introduced. If this wasn't in German probably it would be a good hit on the international MTV, but as it is, maybe the German MTV will show it a few times.
The filmakers try to copy a classic Hollywood buddy/ con movie. The outcome is simply bad, bad, bad: the plot, the music, the acting, the lightning, everything is just bad. Worst of all is the directing: obviously the movie was rushed trough principal photography without care or love by the director. Bad camera work and incredible plot holes are nothing compared to the ending which secures this `movie' a place in the movie hall of shame.
Bandits is a film filled with laughter, tears, and good old fashioned Rock'n'roll. And if your a man who thinks this film is just another lowly chick flick you have another thing coming, Bandits is filled with something for everyone and I mean everyone! So if have not seen it get up off your rear, pick up your keys, rent it- buy it, whatever, just remember to keep your keys handy because you just may need to go out and get your hands on the killer soundtrack!!!
