"Ya Think You Used Enough Dynamite There Butch?"

Rating: 9/10 (9 May 2019)

George Roy Hill's best film and one of the best western movies as well as buddy movies ever made. Excellent direction, cinematography, setting, screenplay and score. Redford and Newman are in top form and deliver knockout performances. Their real life friendship is portrayed naturally on screen. The plot revolves around two seasoned outlaws who have robbed almost every bank in the West. With the law unable to catch these two likeable bandits, a master tracker and band of bounty hunters are set on their trail. Their only option to lose their chasers is to head South, as far as Bolivia. It turns out that the Bolivian government will have nothing to do with the two Americanos. The plot is clever, funny, unique, exciting and has one of the most memorable endings in film history. It's a one of a kind western that has all the action and combines that with hilarity. It is a work of art and masterpiece of it's genre that has never been able to be duplicated. It has resonated throughout generations and has influenced many filmmakers. To this day fans of the film still quote some of it's famous lines such as, "I don't want to sound like a sore loser, but when it's over, if I'm dead, kill him..".
