I like westerns, I liked "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", so I was intrigued by this movie. What a disappointment! The link to the original serves no artistic purpose, but rather an economic one - i.e. to get suckers like me to watch it. In a tip of the hat to the original classic, a few completely random "flashback" scenes are peppered without logic throughout the movie, but that's about it.
The movie is decently played and shot, but the story is weak, contrived and frankly unconvincing. The movie's weird and preachy ending (and I do consider myself a liberal!) and the fake and self-serving link to a great classic western are a complete turnoff.
