Stander (2003) starring Thomas Jane as cop-turned-bank-robber Andre Stander in South Africa. A police captain, enraged at the social injustice of Apartheid, turns to robbing banks. At first, he ends up investigating his own crimes. But he is soon caught and jailed, only to escape and embark on a second crime spree. In the process, he becomes a bit of a folk hero in South Africa. The movie is engaging enough, but it will have a been-there, seen-that feeling to viewers who have seen "Bonnie and Clyde" or "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." Grade: B-
