Overlooked Movies -- Bandidas

There are people who don't care for this movie, but I am not one of them. 

Let's start with the cast.  We have Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz as beautiful but inept odd-couple bank robbers who ride through the Wild West with perfect hair and makeup.  I love it.  Then we have Dwight Yoakum chewing up all available scenery as the cruel land baron who tries to kill their fathers and succeeds with one.  Sam Shepard is the bank robber who knows the ropes and agrees to teach them the trade.  Steve Zahn is the intrepid detective who's hunting them down but who changes sides when he realized what's what.  Not to mention a great dog and horse.

Besides the good cast there's the color.  Not the washed out "everything should be brown or brownish" color of all the supposedly color movies these days but genuine color that goes for the whole palette.  Everything looks great. 

The plot offers nothing new, and things go just the way you'd expect them to, but so what?  Add all this up and you get what I'd call some wonderful light entertainment, but you know how easy to please I am.  You can watch the trailer posted below, and if that doesn't do anything for you, you can always watch Winter Light or Leaving Las Vegas again.
