You know I couldn't resist a buddy crime comedy starring Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges... that just sounds like gold. And maybe the result is more silver than gold, but that's still pretty good. This is a funny, amiably laid back 70's crime picture, and just has a really great vibe to it. What's surprising is that it was the first film by Michael Cimino, who's better known for doing The Deer Hunter. That's a movie that screams ART and IMPORTANT in uppercase letters, but Thunderbolt and Lightfoot is about as fun and unpretentious as movies get.
