Butch & Sundance is almost perfect entertainment

Rating: 8/10 (21 August 2014)

Paul Newman and Robert Redford are perfectly cast as Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. The likable leads are part of the films charm and the main reason for it's success.
A good movie for me is one that does not end with the credits. And this one certainly has you pondering what happened to the two hero's of the piece after the credits have rolled.
The story is filled with the standard elements, from the Western genre but the movie is anything but standard. It is a highly professional piece of work, spectacular and suspenseful, it drags a bit it places but with a good sense of atmosphere it makes for almost perfect entertainment.
