Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

shakercoola Chief among the criticisms of the film in the past was that it doesn't own up to being a Western. In fairness, by 1969 many films were beginning to cross genre boundaries. It occupies an area between dramatic action and comedy, but not action-comedy. It doesn't excel at either genre but for sheer entertainment and the handsome central performances from two handsome actors, and their great chemistry too, it makes up for any shortcomings. The cinematography is sumptuous with brilliant use of colour and shade to evoke feeling. The locations are magnificent. The editing, however, cause us a problem. The chase by the posse was overlong and the film drops into a ravine by the second act as a result, struggling to recover what it promised. All in all, very watchable stuff.

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.

SlyGuy21 They just don't make movies like this anymore. I know that phrase gets thrown around a lot nowadays, but man is it true here. A movie that focuses entire on villains, but Newman and Redford are so charming that you want them to get away. The story's simple, two outlaws try to get away from the law, but it catches up with them. What really elevates this is Newman and Redford, their chemistry is spot on. You want them to succeed, you want them to escape, you don't want them to die. It's shot beautifully, the acting feels real, the action feels real, it just works on every level. There's not a lot else I can say about this that hasn't already been said, just watch it and you'll hopefully understand where I'm coming from.

J Besser Maybe the most entertaining movie ever made. It's violent but it doesn't matter. There's more music in it than "Paint Your Wagon". But it doesn't matter. Western fans like . Lay people love it. I can't explain it. I guess a lot of the credit goes to George Roy Hill. It's a true classic.
