“Mateo Gil’s latest film, Blackthorn, which asserts that Butch Cassidy survived that blasted Bolivian shoot-out at the end of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) and picks up twenty years later. What has happened over the past twenty odd years is apparently of no importance, but sadly, Gil’s film concerning Cassidy’s need to travel back into the United States before he kicks the bucket, can’t muster any momentous interest either.”
