Thelma and Louise-A Buddy-Buddy Movie

Superb Road action
Ridley Scott's movies are really a brand unto themselves.

They are riveting and continues to pack in the suspense and action even for earlier movies (1991) such as Thelma and Louise.


Buddies
This buddy-buddy movie of a waitress and a bored housewife out on a camping outing turned nasty when they encountered mayhem in the guise of an attempted rape, a provocative shooting, armed robbery as well as assault with a deadly weapon.

Novice shooters
Their adventures captured on film of the beauty of the American landscape is superb particularly the Grand Canyon.

In this movie, you see a strong performance by Susan Sarandon who vied for the Best Actress that year (1991) only  to lose it to Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs.

As for Geena Davis, she is in her best form here showing off her best prime,perky and youthful self.

The Penultimate Option
As for the film, there could be no better ending.
