Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
I like movies that don't settle into a groove, especially if the groove is already well worn. But the different kinds of movies that make up Bandits are pretty worn, too.
It's just about impossible not to fall for the ingratiating trio, especially Thornton's Terry.
What started as cute becomes cloying and bloated.
The movie has a one-take feel about it, containing vast stretches where nothing much happens. The cinematography looks amateurish, often badly composed and poorly lit.
