Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - (may contain minor spoilers)
Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman), and the Sundance Kid (Robert Redford) are the leaders of the "Hole-In-The-Wall Gang", a notorious gang of train robbers. The two eventually migrate to Bolivia in order to continue their criminal activities after a train robbery goes wrong.
This is not a bad film by any means, but it didn't live up to its "classic" definition for me. Sometimes the script seems all over the place, one minute Butch and Sundance are hard-boiled criminals and at other moments they are experienced comedians. These sudden changes of tone happen throughout the film, leaving me wondering which Butch and Sundance the writers/director wanted us to identify with. However, when the script settles down, some of the scenes between the two contains some of the wittiest, cleverest dialogue I have ever seen in a film.
The score seems all over the place, especially the "bicycle scene" where "Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head" plays. It jars with the rest of the film.
Paul Newman and Robert Redford (Redford especially) put in good performances, and the scenes between the two are some of the best in the film.
All in all, the film is "cool" enough to work well, but its not a classic, just a good western.
