Eastwood and Bridges at their best - Thunderbolt and Lightfoot review by CP Customer
A great mix of superb story and character development.
The film has the great way of starting in that you feel like you've come in half-way through a storyline (The Indiana Jones Trilogy employs a similar technique). It's a great way to immediatley capture your attention from the word go.
The characters relationships develop whilst the story unfolds. It's just great from beginning to end.
I don't think that there are writers like this in Hollywood anymore.
Superb.
