Bandidas (2006)

Maria (Penelope Cruz) and Sara (Salma Hayek) have good reasons to become bank robbers, and will get help from Quentin (Steve Zahn) and Buck (Sam Shepard). They soon will be wanted dead or alive.

While this requires a *heavy* suspension of disbelief, this movie is not as funny as it is thought to be. Its "action" side is rather limited, especially between the two actresses.

I do like Hayek as an actress, but do not care for Cruz's acting.

Fun entertainment to watch on a rainy day... or if you have absolutely nothing else to watch.

While I am not a big fan of either Salma Hayek or Penelope Cruz, this movie, from the start when I saw Penelope Cruz playing Tic-Tac-Toe with her horse (who cheats), showed me that I was likely to enjoy it.

With a great cast that includes Steve Zahn, Sam Shepard and Dwight Yoakum (playing a sleazy, greasy character), this movie was just what I needed while looking for a comedy fix.

written by Luc Besson, so it has to be good...
