Bandits

I'm trying to catch up on movies and books. This one, Bandits (don't read the last 3 paragraphs of the plot summary - it gives away the whole story), we watched on the telly months ago, but I never got around to writing about it.

It's a brilliant movie. It doesn't seem to have done that well at the box office. I don't know why. I think it's excellent. Funny. Tongue-in-cheek. Great action, and plenty of twists. Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton are bank robbers. They abduct Cate Blanchett, a bored and depressed posh housewife. They both fall in love with her and she can't decide. Perfect love triangle. They all go on a bank robbery spree. Can it last forever?
