Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
You have to admire the craft and assurance of the thing even as its artificiality hits you in the face.

fresh:
The John Foreman production is episodic, but George Roy Hill's direction is so satisfying in catching the full value of the Goldman screenplay that a high degree of interest is sustained.

rotten:
William Goldman's script is constantly too cute and never gets up the nerve, by God, to admit it's a Western.

fresh:
Very funny in a strictly contemporary way-the last exuberant word on movies about the men of the mythic American West who have outlived their day.

fresh:
Although Butch Cassidy wasn't the first movie to pair up a couple of wisecracking best friends in an action/adventure setting, this film became the model of how well that approach could work when done right.
