"I don't wish to be forward but we'd like to exchange cars with you. So the faster you get out, the better it'll be for your ass." One of the most entertaining and well-acted crime films I've seen, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot is charming and, in spite of its age (it was made in 1974), surprisingly fresh. A young ne'er-do-well named Lightfoot (Jeff Bridges) and a former thief in hiding named John "Thunderbolt" Doherty (Clint Eastwood) hatch a scheme to rob an armored car company that Thunderbolt had robbed many years prior. A couple of Thunderbolt's old "buddies" (George Kennedy and Geoffrey Lewis) force their way into the scheme, and the heist is on.
A great little picture, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot is one of those rare films that can appeal to anyone and everyone.
Rating: 3/4
