Bandidas might have a lousy script, and very little in the way of decent action or comedy, but it does have four (big) things going for it: two of them belong to Salma Hayek and the other two belong to Penelope Cruz.
Yes... the main (or only) reasons for watching this rather lame western are tucked down the front (and sometimes bulging out) of the stars' tight cleavage-enhancing costumes. The buxom beauties' magnificent mammaries steal the show, making the film just about worthwhile.
Hot 'n' spicy Hayek and comely Cruz play two feisty señoritasone a spoilt rich brat (Hayek), the other a peasant girl (Cruz)who, with the help of a police forensics expert (played by Steve Zahn), become bank robbers in order to save their country's land and wealth from an unscrupulous employee of an American railroad company.
Expect plenty of dull shootouts and dreary bank heists, interspersed with welcome scenes in which the stars' heaving bosoms strain to contain themselves within tightly laced corsetry (phew!). The highlight of the whole film sees the tasty twosome tie down a semi-naked Steve Zahn and pose for a series of sexy photographs, in an attempt to blackmail the lucky blighter! (personally, if these gals were to offer me a similar 'Kodak moment', the results would be on my MySpace page before you could say 'Ay, caramba!').
Bandidas gets 1 point for each of the stars' breasts, plus an extra point for the incredibly silly Matrix-style knife/gun-fight at the end, giving it a rating of 5/10.
