    • Trivia
      The song that Blackthorn sings when the two of them finally get a horse is the same song that Clint Eastwood sings in Two Mules for Sister Sara (1970) when he is drunk.
    • Goofs
      At the very beginning of the film there is text reading "Butch Cassidy was ONE THE MOST wanted outlaws in America..." The OF that should be included in the sentence is curiously missing.
    • Quotes

      James Blackthorn aka Butch Cassidy: Sometimes I think there's only two moments in a man's life: the one is when he leaves home, and the other one is when he returns. Everything else is just in the middle.

    Western cinematography is not dead...
    Westerns are all about cinematography, and Blackthorn is no exception.

    Wide, sweeping vistas are the order of the day -- but this time, they're something new: South America, and in particular, Bolivia. This tale of an aging-exiled American outlaw and his attempts to return home may seem a bit straightforward and tame, but in the end it's not and you'll be glad to have spend the hour and forty-five minutes partaking in this latest great example of the genre.

    The directing isn't too bad either and the actors generally deliver their lines well, although a few are a bit over-read.

    For a modern western that's not an adolescent fantasy and has a great deal of heart, it gets 9/10.
