Bandits

...börjar som en vanlig actionfilm men visar sig snart vara en slags blandning av O brother, where art thou?, Thelma och Louise och Bridget Jones dagbok, spetsat med Jönssonligan.

The central appeal of the movie are Willis and Thornton who, as a comedy duo, display the ease and familiarity of Butch and Sundance.

Thornton's character is the jewel--a neurotic, fearful hypochrondiac who is lactose intolerant, hears a ringing in his ears, suffers from psychosomatic paralysis, and has a phobia about antique furniture.

Bandits has a lot of fun with its premise in which these women become pop icons while dodging police at every turn.

...[the] real fascination (...) lies with the presentation of the gangster's daughter (...), her discovery and assessment of a questionable family background, and her attempts to forge a separate identity for herself.
