I saw this movie for the first time a few weeks ago, and while I know it's a classic and suppose to be one of the great movies, I wasn't all that impressed with it.
This wasn't a Robin Hood kind of situation, where the robberies could kinda-sorta be justified because of an unjust and oppressive leader, but just a couple of guys going around robbing trains and hold up banks simply because they didn't want to really do real work to earn their living.
The one time they could have changed was when they took a real job, protecting someone transporting payroll money. And for what it's worth, they at least took that job seriously. But then they went back to robbery, until the movie's end.
I couldn't get past that the movie seemed to want me as a viewer to cheer for two men whose lives were all about living well at the expense of the people they were stealing from. It just didn't work for me.
