Classic western continues to grow old with dignity

Rating: 8/10 (2 May 2001)

One of the great westerns, this tale of aging outlaws is a classic in every way; the whole look and feel of the piece reflects the fading glory of Butch and Sundance, their powers slowly waning as their era comes to an end, as well as mirroring the end of the wild sixties era. Redford and Newman are perhaps the greatest double act ever to grace the screen, and though in my personal view inferior to the wonderful Sting, this will always be a great film, a lasting testament to two past ages. Brilliant.
