Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton may be the bank robbers in Barry Levinson's likable comedy Bandits, but Cate Blanchett is the real thief. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Bandits isn't any better than a good formula picture -- it isn't incisive or memorable, just light and amusing -- but it's different. full review
