Cast
Plot
Joe and Terry have just made an opportunistic break from prison and decide to return to their day jobs...bank robbery. Terry is the brains who comes up with idea of kidnapping the bank manager at their home the night before the robbery, an idea that works perfectly thanks to the charismatic no-nonsense leadership of Joe. The two men begin to make a very successful reputation for themselves but when they both fall for Kate (and Kate falls for the both of them), the well-oiled machine takes a nosedive into chaos. Bandits is a highly enjoyable comedy, helped by the dysfunctional but symbiotic buddy, buddy relationship between Joe, who needs constant rage management and Terry, a living breathing stereotype of an obsessive hypochondriac.
