Band of Robbers Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Listonixio Fresh and Exciting
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
adonis98-743-186503 Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn are grown men, still searching for the hidden treasure that has eluded them since childhood. I'm going to start this review by saying that i have never read the books and i know nothing about this characters but that doesn't mean i hated this movie cause it reminded me a lot of those old books that you know my parents and your parents read about hidden treasures and little kids that tried to find them. As far as characters go i think everyone had a moment although some could be more into it like Tommy or even Ben who helped them for sure but not as much as i hoped he would. What surprised me though was Melissa Benoist as Becky she had a lot of screen time unlike Danny Collins, The Longest Ride and Whiplash her character was very cute and likable as for Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn themselves both Kyle Gallner and Adam Nee gave some really good performances and Adam alongside his brother directed the film really good cut in parts and with even an Epilogue that i absolutely loved i even liked Daniel Edward Mora as Jorge and it was really nice what Huck did for him in the end. Another surprising good performance was Stephen Lang as Injun Joe who i really liked as a villain unfortunately the way that he gets killed kinda bothered and also the fact that the "Band of Robbers" went on separated ways but still really good acting and nice characters, great direction, pacing and the plot gets developed as the movie goes and you see that this people actually care about the characters that they portray and even tho the movie was amazing i really don't understand why it's so low rated i guess some people can't understand a modern adaptation of something or just waited something else. To wrap this up this film was entertaining from beginning to end and both the first shot and last were very good directed especially the last one that looks like an actual painting great job from everyone Bravo go check out this film is out on Blu-Ray and DVD or just see it online it was very entertaining and it showed really well the meaning of friendship and even a little bit of love as the film goes on.
SquigglyCrunch Band of Robbers is a modernized version of the story of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn and makes it more of a gangster story. It follows Tom and Huck as they search for an ancient treasure while that same treasure it been searched for by another man. Let me start off by saying that I don't actually know the original Tom Sawyer/Huck Finn story, nor did I know that this was a modernization of said story until at least a day after watching it. Regardless, the source material for a movie doesn't affect my opinion of it whatsoever, but it just means that I would have had less of an idea of what was going to happen going in. Band of Robbers is a fun movie. There was one scene in particular involving an early robbery that made me laugh a little harder than a probably should have. There are a handful of other jokes scattered about, but this scene specifically stood out to me. Also the movie does a great job of balancing both fantasy and realism. The movie's setting is realistic, yet the plot is more of a fantasy with the characters looking for buried treasure. Yet it all fits into the universe very well, nothing about that really feels out of place. Despite these things this movie is very cliché and a little predictable. It often indulges in a handful of clichés that probably wouldn't have changed the story that much, and simply exist because the average movie watcher expects them to be there. Not all of these scenes were entirely pointless, but without all the things that I liked this movie would be very average. Overall Band of Robbers is good. There are some very genuine laughs here and there and it manages to blend fantasy and realism very well. It suffers from being cliché and often predictable, but in the grand scheme of things was an enjoyable movie. In the end I would recommend this movie.
Peter Lorme Band Of Robbers( 2015) is a quirky modern day take on the adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. If I had to describe this film in one word, it would be eccentric. I mean that in a good way. Its a great balance between zany comedy and heartfelt drama. However, I can't ignore the problems. Certain things happen in the movie that are completely illogical. Those things only occur so they can push the movie forward. This happens frequently throughout the movie. It can be quite frustrating at times. Also, several intriguing characters are either underwritten or underused. Especially Hannibal Buress' character, Ben Rogers. I loved every scene he was in. While it does have its apparent problems, Band Of Robbers still manages to give you a warm feeling at the end of the movie. Heartfelt, with a truly great message.
zif ofoz This little flick is amusing and fun. It has nothing to do with the Mark Twain characters of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn outside of it is the names of the two main characters played by Kyle Gallner and Adam Nee. The story starts with these two as childhood friends and then jumps forward to them as adults. One (Gallner) being released from jail the other (Nee) a mostly half hearted policeman.They get back together, now adults, to continue their search for a legendary treasure of gold they have been seeking since childhood. In this pursuit they cross paths with numerous underworld criminal types. There is suspense, guns, chase scenes, etc. Not too much to be said about this movie outside of it being fun but mostly forgetful due to it's episodic editing. It's worth seeing for lite entertainment.
