Decent crime filled film

Rating: 6/10 (25 November 2018)

Butch Cassidy & Sundance Kid did not end the way I expected it too. It was an okay movie, I did find myself losing interest at some scenes, but this film reminded me a lot of a western and I don't very much enjoy those. Because of that it is a bit harder for me to review this unbiasedly. Paul Newman and Robert Redford did a really good job in their role leads as Butch and The Sundance Kid. They both had a heart underneath that criminal skin and if you paid enough attention to the film you could see where it showed through. I wasn't quite fond of the layout where Butch had a thing for Etta which was The Sundance Kid's girlfriend, you could call her, but this only showed in a few of the beginning scenes.
The ending was a bit troubling. I have seen in some movies where they end the film in a freeze frame. A lot of times I see this when there are two people or a group of friends living "happily ever after" after everything worked out. In this case, it was Butch and The Sundance Kid thinking they were going to be able to out gun the few men still left outside surrounding them. What they didn't know was that an army was waiting for them to show their faces and try to shoot their way out. Before the viewer saw the fire fight, there was a freeze frame of the main characters running in. I thought that the film was going to end with one of them dying from their crimes and the other surviving and living with the girl. It was unexpected, and I guess worked out well in the end. It was a good film and I would recommend to certain people.
