This movie was not a very big success, a fact that eludes me. I found it highly entertaining. The movie's strength lies in its ability to constantly change to the way you view the characters. It is in no way clear who is good and who is bad. Ryan Phillippe gives a surprisingly solid performance as Parker; Benicio del Toro is great as always in portraying Longbaugh. Another great aspect of the film is that we do not have long monologs in which the characters justify their motivation; it is revealed though their acts. For some reason I have always harvested a deep personal animosity towards Juliette Lewis and her being pregnant certainly does not change that, so that is something I resent about this film. But generally the movie is nicely done and provides for some solid waste of time. 7/10
