Living in Bolivia, Butch Cassidy has changed his name to James Blackthorn and ekes out his days as a rancher. But when he is bushwhacked by a young thief (Eduardo Noriega), he is forcedto return to his former life. Re-imagining the last days of the Western outlaw’s life, Mateo Gil’s engrossing drama is bolstered by Sam Shepard’s performance. Grizzled, weatherbeaten and rasping rather than speaking his lines, it is a stunning turn by the actor.
