Why ?

i dont know. it wasnt really an old-school western and not really a mexicanrevolution-western either. the music was nothing special, the cinematography was somehow below standard and i dont know, it just didnt feel like anything special. the violence was hard for a film of that age, and the final scene where they walk up to the final confrontation was something what wrote movie history i guess, but i dont know, the film just didnt hit me. i am maybe just not that much of a fan of peckinpah’s style. i thought the getaway was very cool but also a bit “dry”… i mean, i like all his movies so far, but they are not “wow that was fucking awesome” movies
