Thunderbolt and Lightfoot remains a major achievement for Eastwood, Bridges, and Cimino. It deserves to be more than a cult curiosity.

This light-hearted yet poignant buddy movie is very much in the style of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)...

...a criminals-on-the-road movie that shifts toward a dazzlingly elaborate and painfully realistic heist tale.

…a great tough-guy movie that drips with learned experience and hard-earned pathos… a down and dirty feature full of questionable characters and morality... there’s a profoundly moral story in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, a bromance for the ages...
