oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- The Outlaw Trail: Treasure of Butch Cassidy, 2006. A 50's time period film that follows the stories and legends of Buth Cassidy and Sundance Kids as told to their descendants. Their grandson struggles to clear up the outlaws good reputation and name by looking and finding the treasure that was used to do good in the urban community for many needy people.*Special Stars- Ryan Kelley, James D. Hardy, Arielle Kebbel, Brent Weber, Bruce McGill.*Theme- Family is ageless and helps their own.*Trivia/location/goofs- Goofs involve although the story takes place in the early 50's on major character uses a contemporary language colloquialism, "hang with the guy" in dialog. Als o the audience will see the entire film crew in reflection in car's side as it drives away.*Emotion- A beautiful, well paced, well written, well acted 50's film that is really a treasure hunt. The casting and suspense is genuine and plays well. A great overlooked film with all of the same intelligent aspects of Indiana Jones and Last Crusade, the early scenes dealing with the Cross of Cortez.*Based On- Western lore about Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid legends.
bkoganbing Like Young Guns II where a heavily made up Emilio Estevez as desert rat Brushy Bill Roberts reveals to an interviewer he's really Billy the Kid who didn't die at the hands of Pat Garrett, Outlaw Trail has the proposition that Butch Cassidy didn't meet his end in Bolivia with the Sundance Kid. His legacy has been a heavy load for his family to bear, particularly a surviving brother played by James Gammon in Utah of 1951.For reasons that are not really explained young Ryan Kelley thinks that grand uncle Butch survived and left a lot of buried loot in the legendary Robber's Roost, hideout for the Hole-in-the-Wall gang. James Gammon who is his grandfather discourages that belief rather firmly. But when some thieves loot an excavation site that contains clues to the treasure young Ryan is more determined than ever.He and Boy Scout buddy James D. Hardy are determined to find said treasure ahead of the thieves. Along for the ride reluctantly are Arielle Kebbel and another Boy Scout Brent Weber who is his rival for Kebbel and son of the local mayor. Outlaw Trail proves one proposition, that out on the frontier Boy Scout training comes in remarkably handy. At various points in the film the Scouts are trailing the crooks and vice versa. And the law is trailing both as the kids are now missing persons.Young Ryan Kelley gives a sincere and deeply felt performance. And the rest of the cast backs him up admirably. Outlaw Trail is a good family film that kids of all ages should enjoy.
salthollow This is a real wonderful "B" movie that has heart. Think Hardy boys. It is a simple, but very entertaining film won't cost you your soul or sleep. It will fire up your children's imaginations to explore and create. Don't shy away from it, it is worth every minute just for the fun factor. It has Love, bad guys, good guys, planes, trains, drama, small town folks, mountains, boy scouts, old cars and trucks, horses, history and friendship. It is a simple story that boys and girls will love with old school values and painful hidden family memories. Thoughtfully done, with great locations and somewhat campy story line that draws form the 1950's, it is wonderful entertainment that you should not miss.
Jinn On the Butch Cassidy~Sundance Kid Legend. I saw it on a preview before another DVD movie, (actually I was scene speeding), and it looked so interesting I "rewound" it and it looked very cool, so I hired it on my next trip to the video shop. ("DVD shop" sounds weird, lol).While I expected the movie to be longer and with more twists, more turns and perhaps a few booby traps (I dunno perhaps I've seen too many Indiana Jones movies, lol...) Though it was a very interesting take on the legend and an enjoyable watch, my 2 beefs were the bad guys should have had more oomph (and better lines) and the girl seemed out of character in places. A city girl gone country - although her attire was right for the period, the frump skirt didn't suit her adventurous nature ... And her character - at first she was screeching at being thrown into the back of a van and later, completely comfortable leaping from a height onto a speeding train? And then later on when they were in the mine she asked in a timid voice ... "are you sure is this safe?..." - Probably safer than jumping onto a moving locomotive, Dear....Although I enjoyed the movie, such character flaws (and bad scripting) takes me out of it. That aside, I liked Jess' character best for his enthusiasm and adventurous spirit and faith and of course Butch ... and Sundance was cute! It's definitely worth a look-see for a run romp through history and legend.
