« Peu importe que le vrai Butch Cassidy et son acolyte aient été de douteux personnages. Le film apporte sa joyeuse contribution aux mythes fondateurs américains, y insuffle la légèreté de la comédie, le rythme trépidant des films d’action. Un romantisme solaire éclaire le récit, y compris à l’heure tragique de sa conclusion. Et la savoureuse autodérision de ce western tardif lui donne, en prime, un petit goût de spaghetti. » (Télérama)
« Butch Cassidy was thoroughly modern, a star-making vehicle for Newman and Redford that reflected a need for the genre to turn the page and that feels as much of its time as it does authentic to Wyoming in the late 1890s. With Katharine Ross at the center of a love triangle between friends, the film attempted to bring Jules and Jim to the American mainstream, taking a lesson from the French new wave on how to revivify old Hollywood craft. » (The Guardian)
