Review of Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974) by Ted W — 18 Jun 2013
I found much to love and much to hate in Cimino's directorial debut. I'll make no secret, Deer Hunter was an incoherent mess to me filled with great performances. Thunderbolt & Lightfoot, by its nature of being a heist movie, maintains coherence with some really good performances (however the most substantial female role is Bridges').
The only time I felt cheated was a maudlin ending that had me wondering "why not just go to a hospital?".
