Wonderful chemistry

Rating: 7/10 (26 October 1999)

Follows the exploits of two career outlaws, hurtling along toward their fate in an America that celebrates and destroys them all at once. Newman and Redford have a wonderful chemistry. The film doesn't mind having some laughs along the way. Newman on the bicycle, the pair at the edge of the cliff, and the finale make for some of cinema's finest moments. At once serious and light, and can be watched for and in either mood. Ought to be seen in letterbox. 2 1/2 of 4 stars.
