Wonderboy is one of the best props in movie history and when it breaks I audibly gasped. The villains are a little too “mustache twirly” and the stuff they are blackmailing Redford with makes no sense. It also is way longer than it should be. Still there is a lot I liked a lot here. The cinematography is great especially during that great finale scene. The cast has so many great people in it and Redford is charming while toeing a line between a Good Ole Boy and a Tough Guy. I also have to believe that Quentin Tarantino saw this movie and saw the charm and old school vibe of Michael Madsen to then cast him in RESERVOIR DOGS.
