| Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1977) Cast:Clint Eastwood,Jeff Bridges,George Kennedy,Geoffrey Lewis,Gary Busey Three robbers and a con-man join forces to rob a bank they robbed years earlier, however along the way things don't go as planned and cops are on their tail in this hilarious, action-packed and just plain enjoyable actioner which is a gem due to great acting and excellent pacing. Back in the day when Michael Cimino was actually talented he directed this thoroughly wonderfully actionpacked comedy which is often off the wall yet always on target in getting it's audience to laugh. Eastwood and Bridges share excellent chemistry and overall this pairing is what makes Thunderbolt and Lightfoot so delightful, sure it's somewhat silly but it's far too good natured and likable to really count up flaws. One of Eastwood's best as it is a great change of pace, sure Eastwood will always be the best in Dirty Harry but this is far better then one would seemingly expect..As it stands Thunderbolt and Lightfoot is a very enjoyable comedy with Eastwood and Bridges in top form. Truly a must see. D.Michael Cimino***1/2 |
