Thunderbolt and Lightfoot(1974)

6.8/10

dir. Michael Cimino

A-Tier

Capelight A-Tier 4K. Eastwood and Bridges in a Cimino road movie that got lost in the shuffle of 70s Americana. The Montana location photography is the visual draw, and the film is a hidden gem for anyone who likes the era.

6.4/10

dir. Clint Eastwood
