Review Thunderbolt and Lightfoot ( 1974 )

[High Plains Drifter]

 

[Elliot Thomas]

A nice blend of action, drama and road movie with Clint in good form but it’s Jeff Bridges who walks away with the film as his impulsive but naive sidekick. An enjoyable, almost casual debut by writer/director Cimino (not like most of his later films).

 

[Doctor Omega]

With the help of an irreverent young sidekick, a bank robber gets his old gang back together to organize a daring new heist.

 

[Doctor Omega]

I always recall the sad ending of this one.

Spoiler

Poor Jeff.
