About

You’ll likely enjoy this upbeat, lightly comic Western chase if you like The Sting or Thunderbolt and Lightfoot energy; Not for you if you want a strictly traditional, no-nonsense Western.

Pros: charming outlaw duo; breezy western tone; memorable set pieces | Cons: genre-muddled feel; some extended stretches; music divisive
