Kate And Terry example essay topic

There is No Clean Getaway The story of Bandits is told in a flashback form, starting off in a standoff with the police at a bank called the Alamo. Which appeared to have gone very wrong, and then going back in time via a homemade interview made at the home of the host of Criminals at Large (An Americas Most Wanted type show). We first get to know Joe (Bruce Willis) and Terry (Billy Bob Thornton) breaking out of an Oregon State Prison with the aid of a borrowed cement truck crashing through the prison gates all on a whim. That leads to an impromptu bank robbery started with a highlighter. Then two unsuspecting teenagers get to spend the night with the stars. Terry then came with a great idea, instead of charging into their targets with guns blazing, they spend the night before the robbery with the bank manager, and his lovely family and have a nice evening at home, and then walk into the bank before it's open the next morning.

So Joe and Terry start their careers as the "Sleep over Bandits". Joe is a man with a plan. His plan is to enjoy an early retirement as a resort and nightclub owner in Mexico. Well that's ok with Terry, only if he gets to be the chef in their dream resort. So now they are on their way, financing their dream with a few more bank robberies.

They are lacking a few things including who will drive their getaway car. They need Harvey (Troy G arity) an amateur stunt guy and love to be lit on fire, after all of the screw-ups, he surprisingly saves the day in the end. All that is needed now is a cute girl for the boys to fall in love with. Well here she comes, as Kate (Cate Blanchett) comes cashing into the scene quite literally, she hits Terry with her car, so slightly insane she starts her career in being their "full-time hostage" for the movie. As the twisted love triangle goes on so do the robberies.

All in all this movie is good the only thing that it could have done different is an ending about 20 minutes earlier. It has its drag ons and loopholes. When we first see Kate, she is doing an unusual song and dance routine while cooking, and her husband comes and as fast leaves for some clients. I don't think that was needed.

Another example is the 20 minute bar scene or at least seems to be, where Terry finds Kate and wants he to run away with him and suddenly Joe comes to the bar and does the same thing and it just goes on and on. Again not needed. As for the loopholes yes. The writers do catch onto the topic that both Kate and Terry loves to cook but, in the movie they don't even fight except for the line of Kate's "The pasta is a bit chewy".

As for Kate's mysteriously missing toothbrush, I guess she had to choose from the perfect green nighty or the toothbrush well we know which one she picked. Over all Bandits was a good movie but, as for me I wouldn't suggest it to my friends because it just drug on and on and, didn't have enough comedy in it that they tried to have.
