Movie Haiku:A group of aging outlaws on the run makes its final stand in a graphic ballet of blood. Highly influential film in which Peckinpah redefined the Western by changing the perspective from the “good guys” to the “bad guys,” then blurring the line between them. One of Holden’s greatest roles.
