The true story of a trio of fugitives--two bank robbers and the woman they love. When the suave irresistible Joe, and his hypochondriac partner Terry escaped from prison, they cut a swath from Oregon through California, robbing banks in order to finance their scheme for a new--and somewhat legitimate life--south of the border. In their wake, they leave a trail of chaos, disguises, wrecked automobiles--and an adoring public--while fleeing from the law. Their operation is running smoothly until they have an unexpected run-in with Kate, who is drawn to the thieves as a way to escape her ordinary life. Together Joe and Terry are the most successful bank robbers in U.S. history, and to Kate, they also make the perfect man. Things get more complicated when the police and media assume that Kate is their hostage, and organize a massive manhunt to save her from the clutches of Joe and Terry.

I'll make my review of this film, short and simple- A fun film that had great one-liners. I enjoyed the start and the end (the end was very clever) but the middle part of the film, I felt was quite boring.

A 7/10

I loved this movie. Bruce Willis is great in it, but it was Billy Bob Thorton and especially Cate Blanchett that made me love it. They were just awsome. And I LOVE the ending. A very clever twist.

Bruce Willis was awesome. His character was a cool, calm collective ,guy, and he pulled it offf.

Liked it OKAY. His daughters were very cute in it. With the burping (Scout) and the spagetti incident (Tallulah) and the nerdy guy at dinner, it was very witty and classy. Decent job done here.

i only saw this movie once, and from what i saw, i really didn't like it. it seemed to drag on for endless amounts of time. i felt that everything until the last scene was boring as shit. but i think that if i see it again, i'll like it a lot more.
