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.

That was a pretty intense movie. I really liked it though and I'm starting to enjoy crime movies a lot more now than I use to.

The film is basically about a group of four friends who end up in a correctional facility at a young age. They have to put up with the abuse of the guards at the facility and can never forget what went on there. Now, many years later, they enact their revenge on the men who changed their lives.

This was a really good movie and I'm surprised I hadn't heard about it before this week. I would definitely recommend this movie if you're up for something pretty intense.

Pretty epic movie. I think I'll be comparing all crime movies to this from here on out. I had heard that The Dark Knight borrowed a lot of elements from this movie, and now I see what people meant by that. If you liked the first 10 minutes of TDK (the bank robbery scene) then you HAVE to watch this movie.

I had never heard of this movie until today, and I can't understand why that is. This was a pretty amazing movie. If I had to compare it to something, I would say it's some what similar to American History X.

I don't want to describe the plot in too much detail, because I don't want to give anything away, but you really grow attached to Val Kilmer's character towards the end of the film when you find out why he's doing everything he's doing. This is a great film and I would definitely watch it again.
