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.

The humor is too throwaway when it isn't laid on with a trowel.

An underrated anti-western about modern-day cattle rustlers.

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.

A funny movie set in contemporary Montana that is rich in oddball characters and a light satirical touch

Surprise: Frank Perry kept his wits about him long enough to make this mildly watchable 1974 film about the modern west.
