I'm not even a huge fan of westerns, but this movie is one of my favorites. Great characterization, action, and memorable dialogue. Newman really stands out. Seems like every time I catch it on TV, I end up watching it all the rest of the way through. Which is what just happened last night. The 8.2 rating here at this site seems a bit on the low side, though.
shareI never understand threads like this (when a movie has 8.0 or higher). On another site 8.2 might be seen as quite low but for IMDb that's a high rating.
shareIt's currently 8.1, I like the film too but I found it hard to see what all the hype was about.
The hokey bike riding scene, the long montage as they travel from NY to Bolivia.
Not knowing the dates or years that anything was happening, no what happened to Etta at the end, not knowing how long the cruise was. Just little things like that brought it down for me.
I would say it is a 7/10.
Sometimes a movie or tv show plot is so stupid that only the stupid can understand it.
