Bandidas

In 1848, a New York bank wants to put a railroad across Mexico, so it buys up small banks around Santa Rita, Durango, and evicts farmers on the proposed rail line who owe money. The bank’s henchman is the murderous Jackson. He runs afoul of two women, María, the tough but uneducated daughter of a farmer, and Sara, the European-educated daughter of the owner of one of these banks. To feed the now landless people and to seek revenge, María and Sara become bank robbers, veritable Robin Hoods. But Jackson and his hired guns are after them. What are the women’s options?

This movie starts out with a ruthless land baron killing people, so the two leading ladies take revenge and try to rob a highly protected bank. One of them sneezes and drops the loot on floor causing the alarm to go off and they get captured. They escape and manage to kill the bad guy. Then the viewer is left with the realization that they wasted an entire 90 minutes of their life.
