If Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid hit the spot, these will too

The same mix in both: grit, then stillness

Western with a pulse of warmth, in both cases

Crime built on grit, twice over
The difference: Made in the 1990s, in a different era of the craft

Both lean on stillness more than on drama

Common ground: shootout
The difference: Goes its own way on the stillness


Gritty western, and it commits to that
The difference: Played as adventure first

Drama with a pulse of stillness, in both cases

The same preoccupation in both: shootout

Crime built on warmth, twice over
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Both play drama straight
The difference: Leans further into thriller

One thread runs through both: male friendship
