As a rule I'm not a big Altman fan, but this tale of three guys who rob banks in the 1930s was very well done. It doesn't have the irreverent feel to it, like M*A*S*H and even McCabe and Mrs. Miller. (I didn't like either of those. But, I do like Gosford Park and probably my favorite Altman film is Cookie's Fortune.)
Keith Carradine provides the heart of the film and is great in his role, and Shelley Duvall is outstanding as a girl Keith meets and falls in love with.
Costarring Bert Remsen, Louise Fletcher, and Tom Skerritt, Robert Altman's tale of people making bad choices makes for fascinating viewing and should be watched at least once. It may not be as thrilling as "Bonnie & Clyde," but is in some ways a lot deeper with its thoughtfulness of who the three men were, what they wanted out of life and where they ultimately ended up.
