Bandits (2001)

  Cate Blanchett has always understood the assignment.  I could honestly watch her cry while singing 80s pop songs in a car on a ten-hour loop.

Bank robbers Terry (Billy Bob Thornton) and Joe (Bruce Willis) find more trouble than they asked for when they take depressed housewife Kate (Cate Blanchett) hostage.  

This is a cute heist film, even if it is extremely predictable.  It's before Willis started really phoning in his roles, too.  Keep an eye out for Azura Skye, January Jones, and two of Willis' daughters (Scout and Tallulah) in small roles.  

It's currently streaming on HBO Max.
