[A] low-key, elegiac, fitfully intriguing revisionist western...

Rating: 3/5 -- Shepard gives an extremely moving performance as Cassidy/Blackthorn, expertly balancing the traditional romanticism of life in the Old West... with a believable portrayal of an old man yearning to return home. Full Review

This story, parboiled out of one of the most memorable Westerns, is supported all the way by Gil's directing. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Lonesome Dove with a dash of My Name is Nobody and a side of Ride the High Country, but Shepard, Noriega and the exotic Bolivian locations mark Blackthorn out as a notable entry. Full Review

4 stars out of 5 -- [T]he real draw is the performances. Noriega shines as the surrogate Sundance, while the grizzled Shepard, with a Newman-like twinkle, is at his irascible best.

Rating: 2/5 -- While the Bolivian landscape is certainly a sight to behold, Blackthorn feels like a cheap attempt at invigorating interest by exploiting a classic film character. Full Review

Product Description:

Longtime screenwriter Mateo Gil (OPEN YOUR EYES, THE SEA INSIDE) returns to the director's chair for his second feature, a continuation of the Butch Cassidy saga that finds the famed outlaw embarking on one last adventure in the quest to meet his son for the very first time. Twenty years after he presumably perished in a violent gun fight, Butch (Sam Shepard) learns that he has a son in the U.S. Returning home to meet his boy won't be easy, though, because a quick-draw cowboy (Eduardo Noriega) is about to take Butch on the ride of his life. Meanwhile, an obsessive ex-railroad employee (Stephen Rea) is closing in on Butch, and preparing to pull the trigger.
