As mentioned a few days back it is always good to see Clint Eastwood films, especially when he was young and beautiful as he is here, but the real heart of this movie is Jeff Bridges who is probably the most under-rated actor working today. He is never less than amazing and he fits into every role so naturally that one completely forgets that he is playing a role.
The pair get together as two kindred spirits outside the law and the first half of the movie is a chase film as George Kennedy seeks revenge on Clint. It then segues into a heist story where the film slightly loses its way; things pick up again after the robbery and it looks like we may have a happy ending. However that is not to be and the ending is in fact incredibly sad. An uneven film but a worthwhile one.
