    Sure, this movie is a mess (even the final director’s cut) but that just adds to its charm. Kristofferson is great and the murderer’s row of aging Western Guys™️ might be the best ever assembled. Peckinpah’s obsession with the violence necessary to sustain America and to survive in it will always feel timely. 

    Gutshot Slim Pickens watching the sunset while Knockin on Heaven’s Door plays might be the best 2 minutes ever put to film.

    There were so many things about this movie that I appreciated (performances, scope) but for whatever reason I didn’t connect with it.

    Such well realized characters. Beautifully directed action and texture; no one else doing it like Saulnier. Deeply disappointed by the literal cop out ending.

    Who doesn’t enjoy watching a man fuck up for three hours, especially when it’s lit and staged like a Caravaggio painting. Kubrick’s funniest and most human movie. My favorite movie.
