Since the movie didn't say this was a true story, there are no statements at the end telling us what happened to everyone. I suppose we do wish that this was a true story.
James Blackthorn (Sam Shepard) once known as Butch Cassidy seems to be alive in Bolivia and wants to go to the United States to see his nephew Ryan. On the way, he is almost bushwhacked by Eduardo (Eduardo Noriega), who fails, and Blackthorn kind of agrees to help him retrieve money he says he stole from a mine where he was an engineer and there is a posse after him.
The rest of the movie has Blackthorn and Eduardo racing across the desert with the posse close behind. There will be a major twist later on. (Oh, oh!)
The cinematography is excellent and many scenes were shot in Bolivia.
There are many flashbacks of Butch and Sun Dance together to help fill in some gaps.
Notables: Magaly Solier as Yana, love interest to Blackthorn; Dominique McElligott as Etta, who traveled with Butch and Sundance initially to Bolivia and later is shown as pregnant seemingly with Sun Dance's child; Padraic Delaney as Sun Dance; Stephen Rea as Mackinley the Pinkerton man who takes Blackthorn to safety.
This was well told and acted throughout. (9/10)
Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Humor: Some may think some things were funny. I didn't see that. Language: Yes, some not much. Rating: A
