Review of Blackthorn (2011) by Jeffrey M — 26 Dec 2011
"Damn You, Butch Cassidy!!" Sam Shephard stars as the fabled outlaw who survived his cliffhanger showdown with the Bolivian Army and lived out his years as a prosperous rancher. His criminal past catches up with him after he helps a Spanish thief escape the clutches of a mining posse.
Blackthorn will not be remembered as one of the great Westerns, but like 2008's Appaloosa it is an exempleary execution of the genre and Sam Shephard is magnificent as the life-gone-by cowboy. A true shame that this went direct-to-dvd in 2011.
