It’s four years after Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and the two blue-eyed leads are paired again. This time, the dynamic duo are con artists trying to stick it to a cranky Irish guy. Even though they’re technically committing a crime, there’s something about these two that makes you want to root for the underdogs. I think it might be Robert Redford’s suits. Chicago is a city that appreciates the underdog, the art of the con, and a sharp, striped suit. We’re a city that picks itself up and tries again if we don’t make it the first time.
