Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - 8/10





















IMDB / Wiki / RT / BO

Before I even started this movie, I knew it was held in high regards in just about every critics circle there is. Before reading up on the film I just imagined it being some generic western, though I can't say I've honestly seen many western films in the first place so I don't really know what I expected. I was however, pleasantly surprised.

The movie clocks in at just under 2 hours and seems a bit slow at some points, but the time taken to focus on the characters is well worth it. After watching Heat a few weeks back, I thought nothing could top the shoot out scenes in that film, but the last 15 minutes of this one gives Heat a run for it's money.

Great film, I would definitely recommend it to anyone, even if you're not a fan of westerns or crime films.
