A very good western. Paul Newman and Robert Redford have great chemistry and I could watch them rob banks all day. The music is great too. I always think of Spider-man 2 when I hear Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head but I had no idea this is what it was made for. It is a little slow in the first half, the chase feels like it takes forever.
Here we've got a nice old western where our protagonists are robbers and murderers. But hey, they're so damn fun to watch. Honestly, the biggest upside to this movie is that Paul Newman and Robert Redford are both great in their performances. These two form a duo that is always entertaining.
My issue though, is that we get a lot of boring, or at least too long, scenes in the first half. Things do pick up a lot more once they go to Bolivia. Just make sure you go into this for the pair's dialogue and you'll probably enjoy yourself.
The movie had good jokes ngl. However, 2h runtime was too long at the end, it stretched and bored me in the latter half. Which is an issue I seemingly have with a lot movies, but still. Shot in 1969, there is also some sexism here, it's not blatant but definitely there, and some scenes were weird to watch honestly. It had a good run in the middle though, and it was pretty good at playing repetitive jokes, and thus also having memorable lines.

5.5/10
This is how a good feature film is interpreted.
One of the finest movies ever made. It has action, comedy, drama and romance. Not to be missed.
A very good movie. A good western enshrined in truth: Redford and Newman are great in this movie.
One of the all-time great westerns.
