HistoryEveryone has heard of this movie in one way or another. Robert Redford's Sundance film festival is named after his character, stuff like that, blah blah blah. I used to confuse this movie with Smokey and the Bandit because both names had two characters and the word 'and' in the title. Anyway The Sting, from day 5, was the second pairing of Robert Redford, Paul Newman and director George Roy Hill. That movie was so good, that I had to check this out.
What's it about?
Two outlaws robbing banks, on the run, having fun.
Random Connections
Uh...same three dudes from The Sting (Day 5). Oh yeah, and Katharine Ross, who plays a woman involved with the outlaws, is Mrs. Robinson's daughter from The Graduate (Day 6).
Thoughts
Good chemistry between the leads, and this movie is great. There were a couple of obvious cuts when someone was about to get kicked in the balls and stuff like that, but other than that the action was tight. I liked the colors too. I think I liked The Sting better though, but this is definitely a movie to see again.
Rating
Aww hell yeah!

Yo Mahesh, I just saw Rashomon and it was totally awesome. I like it when movies make me consider the nature of humanity. Perhaps I will have to pick up another one of these AWW Hell yeah! movies....!
