While you wait to discover these blockbusters, focus on a clever little thriller, little known to the general public: Bandit from Alan Ungar (Tapped Out or Gridlocked). Coming to theaters in 2022, the film is adapted from Robert Nakley’s novel The Flying Bandit.

Bandit tells the true story of American Gilbert Galvan Jr., who became Canada’s greatest thief. A lover of disguise, he committed no fewer than sixty-three bank and jewelry store robberies.

The cast of this biographical mix of thriller, drama and thriller includes actors Josh Duhamel (Transformers), Elisa Cuthbert (The Girl Next Door), Olivia D’Abo (Conan the Barbarian), Nestor Carbonelli (Lost), Haley Webb (Destination Final) and of course Mel Gibson.

Mel Gibson as a gangster

Rated 3.2 out of 5 by internet users, Bandit It offers a good time of entertainment while the biographical aspect adds an extra dimension. Like a modern-day Arsene Lupine, the flying bandit managed to rob dozens of stores without violence or casualties.

As a result, we almost love this clean-cut thug played by A Josh Duhamel friendly in turn Mel Gibson It features a gangster gameplay that pushes the hero to go through all these hits.

In total, the (real) booty of this famous con artist is $251,333 (in cash), not to mention two million pieces of jewelry. He is even among the criminals who have committed the most thefts in a row. Disrespectful record…
