THE BANDIT is a film about 70s superstar Burt Reynolds, his best friend, roommate and stunt-double Hal Needham, and the making of their unlikely smash-hit SMOKEY & THE BANDIT. The film tells the action-packed story of the making of SMOKEY, while tracing the vivid personal journeys of Reynolds and Needham from obscurity to stardom and highlighting one of the most extraordinary relationships in Hollywood history. Featuring new interviews with Reynolds, rare archive material, including footage from Reynolds’ personal archive, as well as candid interviews with the late Hal Needham, the documentary tells an exhilarating and moving story about loyalty, friendship and creative risk.

5.8-ish? Somewhere around that. There's not really any structure. For a documentary that claims to tell the story of a movie production, it doesn't really say much at all about said process. Title cards try to use the film's progress to tie the segments together, ineffectually. In the end, it's a disjointed mashup of contemporary interviews, poorly preserved TV archives (I swear some of the clips were 16-by-16 pixels), movie footage, and photos. Abrupt tonal shifts don't help it. Interesting look at Reynolds and Needham, but by no means would missing this be a great loss.
