| Trama |
Joe (Willis) e Terry (Thornton) sono due rapinatori più simpatici che violenti, più ottimisti che organizzati. Però, in carriera, hanno messo a punto una tecnica semplice ma assolutamente efficace. Per rapinare una banca ne sequestrano il direttore, famiglia compresa, lo trattano bene, poi di buonora lo accompagnano al lavoro, gli fanno aprire la banca e compiono la rapina prima dell'orario ufficiale di apertura. La formula sembra funzionare - non sempre perchè gli eroi a volte erano stati acciuffati - fino a quando il gruppo incappa in Kate (Blanchett), che ha una voglia matta di trasgressione a avventura. Tutto cambia, a cominciare dai rapporti interni. Cambiano anche i sentimenti. La "formula", così funzionale, si sfalda. Discreto prodotto, per attori e per regia, buona evasione. Levinson ( Rivelazioni, Sfera) è uno che "va sul sicuro". Gli preme raccontare più che giocare con la macchina.
____________________
Two friends and convicts, one charismatic Joe, (Bruce Willis), the other neurotic and hypochondriac Terry, (Billy Bob Thornton) break out of Oregon State Penitentiary in a cement truck and start a bank robbing spree, hoping to fund a dream they share. They become known as the "Sleepover Bandits" because of their modus operandi: they kidnap the manager of a target bank the night before a planned robbery, then spend the night with the manager's family; early the next morning, they accompany the manager to the bank to get their money. Using dim-witted would-be stunt man Harvey Pollard (Troy Garity) as their getaway driver and lookout, the three successfully pull off a series of robberies that gets them recognition on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list.
When a housewife with a failing marriage (Cate Blanchett) decides to run away, she ends up in the hands of the criminals. Initially attracted to Joe, she also ends up in bed with Terry and a confused love triangle begins.
The three of them run away and manage to pull off a few more robberies, but after a while the two begin to fight over Kate, and she decides to leave them. The two criminals then decide to pull off one last job.
The story is told in flashback, framed by the story of the pair's last robbery of the Alamo Bank, as told by Criminals at Large, a fictional reality television show. The show tells the story of the last job to be a failure when Kate tips off the police and the two are caught in the act. The two then begin to argue when Joe tells the police "You won't take us alive!" and the argument gets to the point where the two of them shoot each other dead.
But at the end of the film the real story behind the last job is revealed, Harvey used some of his special effects to make it seem as though Terry and Joe were shooting each other. Harvey and his girlfriend then ran in dressed as paramedics and placed the stolen money, Terry, and Joe in body bags. In the ambulance, Harvey uses electronics to blow out his tires which sends the ambulance into a junkyard. Under Harvey's jumpsuit, he's wearing a fire suit. He lights himself on fire and rigs a bomb to go off. Kate, Harvey, Harvey's girlfriend, Terry, and Joe flee the scene, leading officials to believe the bodies were burned.
Reunited, Joe, Terry, Harvey and Kate make it to Mexico to live out their dream. The last scene shows Harvey getting married in Mexico and Kate kisses Joe and Terry passionately. |
