Movie Info
Two modern day cowboys smuggle a herd of cows across the border in this loosely amiable comedy. Jim Kane (Paul Newman) is a cowboy who unexpectedly finds himself deep in debt and in need of some fast cash. A less-than-scrupulous businessman approaches Kane and offers him a handsome payday to escort 200 head of cattle from Mexico into the United States for use of the rodeo circuit. While the deal seems dubious, Kane goes along with it, and persuades his friend Leonard (Lee Marvin) to tag along.

All Critics (7) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (5) | Rotten (2) | DVD (3)
The lazily incongruous character studies of naive Newman, hard-drinking, slow-witted Marvin, and a strong support cast, come from a script by Terrence Malick.
Top CriticAll style and no movie.
Rosenberg's direction is pedestrian.
Quirky and lacking an interesting script.
A mildly diverting modern western and buddy-buddy movie.
It is so peculiar and doesn't seem to care that it strays from the usual western, that therein lies its charm.
