“Bandit” (*** out of four) was a solidly engaging melodrama about a career criminal (Josh Duhamel) who escapes from prison to Canada and tries to start a new life with a new woman (Elisha Cuthbert) that he meets but finds he can’t leave his bank-robberies behind him and he proceeds to set a record for amount of robberies committed while being watched and tracked by a federal task force (Nestor Carbonnel and Swen Temmel). Duhamel has never been better and him and Cuthbert have strong chemistry that keep this light-hearted caper film breezy and entertaining. Mel Gibson has a key role as one of Duhamel’s partners.
