“Bandit” is a exciting crime drama film about a prison escapee who starts robbing banks to make ends meet. He is very successful, frustrating police, but is tenaciously pursued by one detective who is determined to bring him down. This true story is tightly directed by Allan Ungar (“Gridlocked” 2015) from a screenplay written by Kraig Wenman, adapted from the 1996 biography “The Flying Bandit” by Robert Knuckle. There are similarities to “Catch Me If You Can,” Steven Spielberg’s 2002 movie.
The fast moving two hour film has good chemistry between the two lead actors, Josh Duhamel and Elisha Cuthbert, the bank robber and his girl friend turned wife. Nestor Carbonell, Mel Gibson, Olivia d’Abo, Haley Webb, Swen Temmel, and Rachel Markarian provide good support. “Bandit” from Yale Productions and Goldrush Entertainment was mostly released on streaming networks Paramount+ and Amazon Prime.
