Trailer, movie about man who robbed 59 Canadian banks, distributed by Redbox


Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSjYZXVXiaM

To be released 23 September 2022. Redbox has teamed with Lionsgate to distribute a lot of films. How many theaters in North America will show Bandits, or was this acquired just to produce content for Redbox kiosks (located in stores)?

Based on the true life story of Gilbert Galvan Jr (aka The Flying Bandit). Galvan escaped from a Michigan prison in 1984 and crossed the border into Canada. He robbed 59 banks and jewelry stores while being chased by a police task force. He still holds a record for the most consecutive robberies in Canadian history.

Cast: Josh Duhamel, Mel Gibson, Elisha Cuthbert, Nestor Carbonell, Olivia d'Abo.

Mel Gibson seems to have not had as smooth a ride back into The A List as was previously envisioned. Duhamel and Cuthbert have both fallen far since their heyday in The 2000s and early 10s also

I'm a fan of Mel and it's sad to see him in these b grade movies. Dragged Across Concrete was awesome, he needs to make more movies like that before he is too old.

Ok I take back my words, this was actually pretty good!
