That this film was so underseen in 2011 is heartbreakingly sad and makes a good case for everything that’s wrong with Hollywood and film distributors in the US; a position I don’t always hold - I’m not an anti-Hollywood type. 
 
A South American western that continues the myth of Butch Cassidy in his waning years, it was filmed on location in the mountains and plateaus of Bolivia. The stunning cinematography would have been enough to keep me watching in itself, but here we’re blessed a great script and perfect cast as well. 
 
Sam Shepard an aging Butch Cassidy living in the mountains of Bolivia under the name of James Blackthorn discovers that his long ago lover Etta Place has passed and yearns to visit their child whom he’s never met and who knows him only as Uncle James through letters. 
 
As he sets off on his journey trouble befalls him when he runs into Eduardo Apodaca (Eduardo Noriega) a Spanish engineer, on the run for stealing money from a Bolivian mining company he was working for. Blackthorn at first recognizes in Apogado the same altruistic ethics he had in his younger years - only stealing money from greedy corporations, never from the workers, never harming anyone in the process, and this is the basis that forms an uneasy friendship as they help each other escape both the ex-Pinkerton (Stephan Rea) who never believed Cassidy was dead as had been reported years ago and Apodaca’s pursuers. Noriega was an excellent choice to portray the engineer, due to his ability to be both charming and duplicitous, almost sinister, a common character motif in his films. 
 
The film is intercut with flashbacks to a younger Cassidy (played by Nicolaj Coster-Waldau), Sundance and Etta Place which work well to clarify Blackthorns current predicament. 
 
This is a gorgeous, well made film. I didn’t like the ambiguous ending at first, (which I feel is safe to say without giving away in details), but came to realize it was the only way to end a tale of Butch Cassidy ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Can't keep a Good ,though Lucky Outlaw down.! *by A***5 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 14, 2021* The director did a great compilation putting this together,with Shepard,Rea and Noreiga plus Yana ,they did an excpetional experience ,bringing the ''real story'' about Cassidy .Through Historical Americana Research and Indendent studies of putting aide the Hollywood Myth and ''official story ''of that legendary shoot-out in Bolivia and rendering it to the ashheap,'' 'Hey it was a Movie !. .The research that has came back in the last 100 years ,mention that Butch according to those ''family letters'' made it back to his home town and probably died between 1935-1945 ? . Yes Legends are really Legends and the his Family probably knew what the Guy looked like . A guy who waded into the Andes on his way back to El Norte had to have a certain moxie .These guys as Parker? Cassidy etc. had that stamina ,and endurance to complete their stories right. The movie is a great way to look at Legends through the landscape they covered .One of my Top 5 Westerns ( whew) As the Commander said '' this area of the Andes at 20,000 feet ? one could guess as the ""Lost'',those who are used to being ''lost'' know how it is to be lost!. ( or to paraphrase ). One of Sam's best roles ,Rea is fantastic and Noriega, who I appreciated from ""Thesis'' and ''Open Your Eyes '' performed his first Western very well. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/60347375-blackthorn-blu-ray](https://www.desertcart.be/products/60347375-blackthorn-blu-ray) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
