One Stab and Tristan’s relationship makes this movie great. Every relationship between every character is nuanced and layered. An epic 3 hour film told in 130 minutes. Better than you recall.

A gritty 70s throwback cop thriller that largely fails to recapture the kinetic energy or the interesting character types that made the era worth celebrating (save the local sheriff who is great). Naturalism has been replaced by stagnant staring and low rumbling voices, overpopulated by too many pretty faces with washboard abs to be a believable recreation of a harder, meaner time. Jude is great, and so is his mustached face, but he’s bogged down by an overly plain script, a sleepy tone, rushed story structure, and a solid director not doing his best work.
Low okay time.
Now feels like the time for everyone to finally admit the Russo Brothers have as much to do with Marvel’s success as they do talent — none at all.
Robert Redford plays a narcissist. Michael Ritchie directs. Gene Hackman is in it. That’s enough.
