Nice re-imagining of the Western. The premise is simple: Butch Cassidy survived and lived on in Bolivia. Now in old age he wants to return to the US but on the way he gets caught up in an adventure.
Spectacular locations elevated this film above the ordinary. They put Monument Valley to shame. Shepard is excellent in the role...he has limited range but does have the grizzled look necessary. The story is engrossing and easily carried me along. Elegiac in tone, ambiguous resolution.
Lots of care and thought in this one.
