True Stories Aren't Always The Best Ones

Rating: 1/10 (4 August 2000)

This was a terribly boring movie that had me watching the clock waiting for it to end. It failed to capture my interest from the opening scene to the dull end sequence. The movie is about two outlaws, Newman and Redford, who are on the run from the law. They decide to hide out in Bolivia. But instead of laying low, the duo decide it would be better to continue to rob banks. Their personalities are a little unbelievable. They are portrayed as kindhearted people. This didn't sit well with me, because of all the stealing they were doing (sometimes even from poor people). I don't enjoy seeing real life bad guys presented as Hollywood good guys. It may be considered a classic; but I consider it a CLASSIC example off an overall boring movie with stupid dialogue and goofy action sequences. As you can probably tell, I don't recommend this movie. This gunslinging duo shouldn't have been captured on film. And if someone felt they had to be; that person should have waited for the 90's to do so.
