Bandidas comes from writer/producer Luc Besson, and it has the same kind of brisk, lightweight comic action as films like Wasabi (2001) and The Transporter (2002).

This is essentially a buddy comedy with cleavage, and quite a bit at that.

a pleasant surprise, especially for what is basically a DVD release... and it helps to have two gorgeous women headlining the film

A nominal action-comedy that fails to provide either excitement or amusement.

Silly, breezy fun, fueled by playful chemistry between its charismatic, appealing stars.

Never has a film with Luc Besson's fingerprints on it popped so little, but only directors Joachim Roenning and Espen Sandberg are to blame for the film's lack of imagination.

It's incredibly inconsequential, buttery entertainment, but it'll surely put a smile on your face if you can find a way to appreciate its rambunctious spirit.

It's shameless, and silly, and very entertaining.

Luc Besson deve ter uma lábia fabulosa para ter conseguido convencer duas atrizes estabelecidas a se sujeitarem a este tipo de chauvinismo pavoroso.

This is a 'summer movie' if I ever saw one. Release it already!

a heist western that is devoid of thrills, sizzle, or any real humor
