Movie #189 - Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid (1969)

**
I was especially disappointed in this film since I already know how enjoyable the pairing of Newman and Redford can be in a period piece directed by George Roy Hill (THE STING).  This film wasn't about anything.  A pair of outlawas rob, are pursued, flee, rob, pursued, the end.  No character building.  No "one last score" scenario.  Nothing really interesting.  Just running and robbing...andmeither are particularly interesting or innovative.  The banter between Newman and Redford is well written, and the cinemtography is as good as any number of westerns, but there is nothing to make this movie stand out.  I was surprised.
