Reviews:

Underrated and shamefully neglected
Another reviewer said that this film has been widely ignored and that is a crying shame. I’ve only seen the once in ten years, it’s not on TV/satellite and is unavailable on video in the UK.

But I never forget watching it and being captivated by its charm and depiction of the real, sometimes very brutal West (I cannot forget one of the young gang getting shot for stealing a pie). The two leads are excellent, perfectly balancing the other, Bridges as the streetwise tearaway and Brown (RIP) as the well educated, mother’s boy lead astray after dodging the draft (Vietnam echoes?).

The final scene is a gem as the two partners, shaped by their experiences in a lawless West, turn to crime.

rambling new style western
Drew Dixon is help by his parents to escape Union recruiters for the west. In Missouri, Drew is robbed by Jake Rumsey (Jeff Bridges) who leads a group of young thieves. While Drew finds refuge in the minister’s home, he runs into Jake again who’s hoping to steal from the minister. Drew demands his money back but Jake wins the fight and convinces him to join his gang.

It’s a revisionist 70s western. The story is a rambling series of episodes. The group never really attains any chemistry. Only Bridges has the charisma. The violence isn’t shocking enough although they do shot up a rabbit really good. The movie has some compelling moments but it doesn’t maintain the tension from beginning to end. First time director Robert Benton allows the movie to mosey too much.
