Thunderbolt and Lightfoot Ratings & Reviews
- parcolanSeptember 18, 2025Very good and interesting, must watch 👌
- springer666August 16, 2025Thunderbolt and no Thor? That’s a win right there.
- Mister ArnJuly 27, 2025“Thunderbolt and Lightfoot” features Clint Eastwood in his signature stoic cool, paired with a young, magnetic Jeff Bridges in a buddy/heist film where the bond between them matters more than the job itself, just as it should in a story like this. Bridges delivers an outstanding performance that gives the film its heart and energy.
- ርልዪረMarch 21, 2025It's a heist movie set in the early seventies.No spoilers , just watch it. It's got a good sense of humour throughout, though being a seventies film it is bittersweet. Clint and Jeff have a ball , with a great supporting cast. Great car scenes backed up with a superb soundtrack. A personal favourite. A perfect example of movie making.
