cdybedahlBandidas is a Western starring Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek as a pair of Mexican girls from very different backgrounds who get into bankrobbing as a way of fighting injustice. It's (co-)written and produced by Luc Besson. Overall, it's a solidly entertaining comic action movie. It's well worth watching just for that.
It's also quite subtexty. Sara (Hayek) and Maria (Cruz) aren't quite as blatantly slashy as, say, Xena and Gabrielle or House and Wilson, but I think the main difference is one of available screen time. There are a few scenes that are just begging to get used as starting points for slashfic. Like the one that ends with Maria cutting clothing off Sara with a knife Sara has just handed her...
Definitely a keeper. I hope it's available on DVD.
