Movie Reviews

ComingSoon.net - 10/10 by Edward DouglasIt's quite surprising that it takes two foreign filmmakers working in a foreign country to deliver one of the most compelling Westerns we've seen in quite some time.
Filmcritic.com - 10/10 by Christopher Nullstrips Cassidy of the myth, reminding us that even Paul Newman couldn't escape old age.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 10/10 by Ken HankeNot only one of the year's biggest and best surprises, but it's the most beautifully photographed film I've seen in some considerable time.
Laramie Movie Scope - 9/10 by Robert RotenThis is a worthy addition to the legend of Butch Cassidy.
Philadelphia Daily News - 9/10 by Gary Thompson"Blackthorn" takes the buddy movie outlaw mythology and glamour of the Newman-Redford classic and guts it like a fish.
Hollywood.com - 9/10 by Matt PatchesWhat really transforms Blackthorn into a fresh take on an archetypical story is Shepard's Cassidy, a man burdened by his outlaw past.
Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Frank ScheckThe actor (Shepard) delivers a beautifully understated, world-weary turn that largely makes up for the slow-paced film's longueurs, and which in a better film could be described as iconic.
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Tasha RobinsonBlackthorn could use more depth and less of a sense of weary inevitability, but 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.
New York Post - 8/10 by Lou LumenickWith Paul Newman gone, you couldn't ask for a better senior-citizen representation of Butch Cassidy than Shepard. In his best performance since "The Right Stuff'' turned him into a reluctant movie star, Shepard makes Blackthorn worth seeing.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Ty BurrBlackthorn is less interested in realism than in elegy, and in bringing this American folk hero in line with the Latin American places and people with whom he ended his days. Given a choice between the legend and the facts, Gil and Barros make up a new legend - and then gild it with light.
