Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Lollivan 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.
Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
kennykip Awesome outlaw movie, appeared at the time where westerns were truly evolving into the more shooter oriented movies than the classic story of a sheriff or gunslinger who had to save the day, the film encompasses peaceful moments and violent moments and puts them together with great effect. in most westerns nothing in the plot ever evolves usually but the main objective and maybe a few friendships between the good guys. this is a great movie to show the outlaw side of the western genre
merelyaninnuendo Butch Cassidy And The Sundance KidThe chemistry between the lead characters is the key to this feature that breeds soft moments in this hardcore western world where everything is fair. George Roy Hill's brilliant execution skills helps this feature sail off to the shore smoothly where a bit more editing would have done no harm. Robert Redford and Paul Newman are convincingly good in their sibling sort of relation and carries it all on their shoulder. Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid being a character driven feature has brilliant performance, execution and character development in it but unfortunately lacks a gripping screenplay that may allow the audience to drift off once in a while.
tim-arnold777 I was like 15 when this movie came out. Movies were really different in the old days. They took way more time developing a story and characters before the climax started to slowly build. Younger generations are accustomed to the fast-paced stories and action of today's screen writing and cannot endure the slower pace of older movies. I agree, they seem to languish and even stagnate at some places, but what younger generations don't have, is the nostalgic connection of where they were and who they were when they fist viewed this movie. This was a coming-of-age movie for me and it represents way more than just celluloid stretches of what many would qualify as adequate or even mediocre acting, effects, locations, music, never before seen supporting characters and actors. It was a piece of my mid to late teens that contains memories of the life and times in which that movie played. The raw emotion and reverie of the late 1960's will forever be inexorably tied to that movie for me. Nostalgia.
Ian (Flash Review)I had a chance to catch this in a theater and did. This was one of the first Westerns I had ever seen when I first saw it was the story gripped me for every frame. Butch and Sundance are bank robbers; brink and mortar banks or the train cars that haul the cash. They do this enough and the banks hire the best trackers to track them and they are off through great open plains scenery shots and tense adventures. This film has great dialog, acting, script, character development, scenery and chases. And believe it or not, I don't think there is any music aside from an old chap playing piano at a saloon. The modern equivalent of this endless chase reminds me of No Country For Old Men. Both are great films. This film and the ones with Clint Eastwood changed my perception of Westerns from negative to positive.
