In Frank Perry's curious, off-center comedy Western, Jeff Bridges and Sam Waterston play Jack McKee and Cecil Carlson, a couple of cattle rustlers whose special target is taciturn rancher John Brown (Clifton James). Both men are outcasts by choice; McKee can't stand being around his stuck-up ex-wife (played by Doria Cook), while Carlson, an Indian, finds his fellow tribesmen too tradition-bound for his tastes. Together, they plan to lift themselves out of the penny-ante class with one big crime

The humor is too throwaway when it isn't laid on with a trowel.
It is so cool it is barely alive.
There's nothing so hapless as a movie made in the wrong style, especially when the director doggedly insists on that style to the bitter end.
Surprise: Frank Perry kept his wits about him long enough to make this mildly watchable 1974 film about the modern west.
An underrated anti-western about modern-day cattle rustlers.
In keeping with the audience it is aimed at, the film is self-consciously cynical and insolent, and at the same time fundamentally romantic and seeking to be liked. The combination works surprisingly well, thanks to good ensemble acting.
A funny movie set in contemporary Montana that is rich in oddball characters and a light satirical touch
Rambling but entertaining flick.
Elizabeth Ashley, Harry Dean Stanton and Richard Bright...and the scene where Bridges and Stanton are talking over Pong
