Editorial Review:
This 1969 film has never lost its popularity or its unusual appeal as a star-driven Western that tinkers with the genre's conventions and comes up with something both terrifically entertaining and--typical of its period--a tad paranoid. Paul Newman plays the legendary outlaw Butch Cassidy as an eternal optimist and self-styled visionary, conjuring dreams of banks just ripe for the picking all over the world. Robert Redford is his more levelheaded partner, the sharpshooting Sundance Kid. The film, written by William Goldman (The Princess Bride) and directed by George Roy Hill (The Sting), basically begins as a freewheeling story about robbing trains but soon becomes a chase as a relentless posse--always seen at a great distance like some remote authority--forces Butch and Sundance into the hills and, finally, Bolivia. Weakened a little by feel-good inclinations (a scene involving bicycle tricks and the song "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" is sort of Hollywood flower power), the movie maintains an interesting tautness, and the chemistry between Redford and Newman is rare. (A factoid: Newman first offered the Sundance part to Jack Lemmon.) --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - One of Hollywood's Greatest All-Time Movies
An absolute classic, timeless and brilliant... witty and dramatic, funny and engaging, starring two of Hollywood's greatest leading men in an unforgettable and magnificently told tale of two of the Old West's most legendary figures. This is more than simply a must-see movie, it is a can't miss, see it time and time again classic!
Rating:  - One of the worst Blu-ray disc I have seen
I am sorry to say this is one of the worst Blu-ray disc I have seen, and I own about hundred of Blu-ray discs since its inception. Actually I have forgotten how the original DVD version looks liked, so I took it out for comparison, and yes, the Blu-ray version does look a little bit better, but overall the picture quality is still so dreadful, it seems you are watching the movie through a muddy window: colour is dull, contrast is low, and the image is blur.

Rating: - Amazing Movie, Amazing Deal
Great price, fabulous package includes lots of extra features and classic interviews with key players.
Rating: - Legends.
How do you ensure somebody's legacy as a hero? In the good old days, you wrote a book. Nowadays, you make a movie - and if you're lucky and it's really, really successful, you can retrospectively even make legends out of dangerous criminals. Not that that always works, of course. But with two great actors with instant chemistry (Paul Newman and Robert Redford), a script (by William Goldman) bursting with one-liners making the audience bowl over laughing every other minute, without once derailing into ...
