Quote:
Bandidas is a 2006 French/Mexican/American Western comedy film starring Salma Hayek and Penélope Cruz directed by Norwegian directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg and produced and written by Luc Besson. It tells the tale of two very different women in turn-of-the-century Mexico who become a bank robbing duo in an effort to combat a ruthless enforcer terrorising their town.

This is the first movie that Cruz and Hayek have starred in together. It was a co-production between France, the United States and Mexico. Despite the lackluster reception, it gained a cult following due to the film's lead actresses Cruz and Hayek.

Its not very different from the rest of the western action 'comedies', like The Mask of Zorro, it was just more stupid and annoying. The acting by both Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek were way over the top.

We've already seen this before in a bunch of movies, it was just a rip off. But i cant say i wasnt a little entertained

The only good thing about the movie was Cruz' and Hayek's hotness :wub:

It's just too tame, too uneventful and that's a pity with such two leading ladies. It's okay fun, but nothing more at all. Could have been better if just a tad less silly and harmless. The storyline is right out of the "how to produce a generic western" book.

I liked it. I thought it was entertaining, simply because of Cruz and Hayek. They looked like they had a blast making this, and it shows.
