Is “Bandit” worth a watch?

When I saw the trailer for this new Actiom/Crime/Drama/Thriller, a few months ago, I was immediately hooked!

This movie was released on September 23rd 2022. This movie starrs Josh Duhamel (“Batman: The Long Halloween: Part one & two”), Nestor Carbonell (Apple Tv+’ “The Morning Show”), Mel Gibson, Olivia d’Abo (“American Dad”),just to name a few. This movie was directed by Allan Ungar.

THIS movie was rated R for violence, language, sexual content, graphic violence and profanity.

Onto the premise: After escaping a Michigan prison, a charming career criminal assumes a new identity in Canada and goes on to rob a record 59 banks and jewellery stores while being hunted by a police task force. Based on the story of The Flying Bandit.

Well made movie about the flying bankrobber of canadian 80’s, a ”catch me if you can” kinda story about a peculiar and ever so impertinent and without any lack of fantasy big time criminal doing banks like it was the local store at the corner, played with bravissimus acts by josh duhamel, supported by elisha cuthbert and mel gibson.

Its not a technically advanced production, but it has thousands of takes and a storyboard that mustve been thick as a encyclopedia, so the editor departments must have had a sweaty job pulling the strings together.

Its a loose biographical action comedy, because the deeds done back then where just jawdropping, and the witty acts of mr duhamel saved at least my day at the laughterfront. A feature has been dealing with this story almost 30 years ago, so some may think this was overkill in the making, but forget that, this is the new version on the silverscreen, and you wont regret a peek in the darkness. If youre able to keep your laughs secret watching this, youre either dead or nearly there. The grumpy old man does not regret the pick, because impertinence ultimately works. So grab a lager and start spinning the rolls…

Overall I really enjoyed this movie and it didn’t have any groundbreaking elements but I still liked the thrill of the bank robbers, wether they will get caught or not. It was a nice Saturday afternoon watch!
