Blake- N @PBSAniDom May 15 Bandidas is a truly unique mix of French and English storytelling, and that alone gives it a charm that stands out. Set in the 19th century, it brings a playful cowgirl energy to the screen that makes it feel different from the usual western. The film has a stylish look, a light sense of adventure, and a strong buddy-movie vibe that helps carry it along. The cast brings personality to their roles, and the whole thing has enough attitude to keep it interesting even when it does not fully hit every mark. Overall, I would rate Bandidas a 5/10. It is a fun and unusual watch with a lot of character, but it is more enjoyable for its concept and charm than for anything especially deep or memorable. Still, it is worth seeing for anyone who likes westerns with a fresh, international flavor, too.

Jackson buys the bank of the wealthy Don Diego (Ismael “East” Carlo) to execute the bank loans and take the lands from the Mexican farmers. Sandoval and his men go to the farm of Mr. Alvares and when he refuses to leave his lands, he shots him. He also poisons Don Diego by simulating a heart attack. Maria Alvarez (Penélope Cruz), who is a farm girl with few education, finds her father seriously wounded and brings him to the church, under the care of Padre Pablo (José María Negri). Meanwhile, the spoiled Sara Sandoval (Salma Hayek), who was educated in Europe, finds her father dead and is forced to flee from Jackson and his gang. Soon, Maria Alvarez and Sara Sandoval meet each other while robbing the local bank and soon they team up despite their difference of instruction. Meanwhile, the scientific detective Quentin (Steve Zahn), who is the fiancé of the daughter of Mr.Ashe, is sent to the town to investigate the heist and ends up joining Maria Alvarez and Sara Sandoval in the bank robberies. “Bandidas” (2006) is a funny and entertaining movie directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg. The plot is silly, but makes the viewer laugh a lot. In addition, Penélope Cruz and Salma Hayek are very beautiful and sexy women and are another attraction. Steve Zahn is a great comedian and responsible for most of the hilarious scenes throughout the story. In addition, there are the names of Sam Shephard and Dwight Yoakam in the cast. Do not think too much and enjoy this funny adventure. My vote is six.
