Blackthorn Ratings & Reviews
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
This story, parboiled out of one of the most memorable Westerns, is supported all the way by Gil's directing.
Detroit News
Tom Long
It ain't Paul Newman and Robert Redford, but it ain't bad.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
An elegiac take on the great American Western.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
In place of a rousing adventure, "Blackthorn" is a haunting ode.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
"Blackthorn" feels less like a proper sequel to "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," which it purports to be, than a coattail rider.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
A different kind of Western - somber, reflective and set in the elevated plains and salt flats of Bolivia.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
The filmmakers didn't have a lot of options. In some ways the new picture feels like a boxed-in replay.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Each frame is a crystalline jaw-dropper that places the smallish actions of men within a vast canvas of lush jungle, lunar salt flats, Andean snow, and desert sand. The result is a pretty good movie that almost looks better than it needs to.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Shepard's performance is one to remember.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Butch has grown old? And homesick? And gets waylaid, and is back in action again? Was this trip necessary?
Film.com
William Goss
Mateo Gil's sturdy Western makes a nicely melancholy flipside to George Roy Hill's more rambunctious classic.
IFC.com
Matt Singer
If ever a man deserved the nickname "Butch," it's Sam Shepard.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Director Mateo Gill's autumnal movie has elements of other late-era Westerns in its blood, but it isn't easily pigeonholed.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
In his best performance since "The Right Stuff'' turned him into a reluctant movie star, Shepard makes "Blackthorn'' worth seeing.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
If nothing else, the film reminds just how arresting an actor Shepard can be. Like Blackthorn, he's only gotten better with age.
New York Times
Rachel Saltz
The filmmakers rely on Mr. Shepard to lend the character some of his mythic weight, but it would take an actor with greater range to make Butch more than a cardboard outlaw-saint.
NPR
Ian Buckwalter
Shepard sells it with a depth and a conflicted sense of remorse that pulls this folk hero down to earth.
AV Club
Tasha Robinson
It never lacks for the arid, vista-prone beauty of a classic Western, or for a sense of lived-in wear and tear that remains convincing even though it's more stylized than realistic.
Village Voice
Mark Holcomb
This lightness finally overshadows the story's elegiac potential and leaves the toll of Cassidy's exile largely untapped, and even Shepard's magnetism can't lift Blackthorn above the status of cinematic lark.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
Shepard delivers in spades, his character weary but just crackpot enough to survive.
