charming cool fun duo

Rating: 8/10 (25 August 2014)

Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman) is the leader of the Hole in the Wall Gang. His latest idea is to go to Bolivia with its supposed riches. The Sundance Kid (Robert Redford) is the quick draw of the group and his girl is Etta Place (Katharine Ross). The gang hits the Flyer train. The gang hits the Flyer again and they get ambushed. They are hounded by a posse of the best hired by the head of Union Pacific Railroad. They decide to go on the run with Etta and end up in rural Bolivia.
This is sometimes funny but most of all, this is cool. Newman and Redford are playing this with a nudge and a wink. They're just having fun together. And the star power doesn't shine any brighter. The best scenes are always when the two are arguing. These guys just have great chemistry.
