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.
