S R I had avoided this film because of the Director Peckinpah, but finally saw it since it was NYT 1000 movies list and SLC DVD. I was glad I did, since I enjoyed this character study of a washed up rodeo cowboy despite its many shortcomings, odd dialogue, usual Peckinpah slow motion and multiple combination of shots. It certainly felt like someone who was inebriated was in control. Regardless, I enjoyed the Prescott AZ setting since I have family there and I have been there a few times. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/03/25 Full Review Alec B It's symbolism is a bit obvious (i.e. when McQueen literally gets menaced by modernity) but that plays into the movie's narrative simplicity which works because the cast is uniformly good and Pekinpah clearly loves this weird subculture. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/28/24 Full Review Scott M Nothing about it was interesting. The dialog was horrendous. The actors seemed to be going through the motions to please the director. Steve McQueen's worst film. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/29/23 Full Review isla s I found this a rather slow and bland film. Steve McQueen is his usual cool self but I didn't feel engrossed by it and the plot seemed a little thin, so I wouldn't recommend it. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A great early 70's film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Perhaps it's because I couldn't care less about the rodeo, but this movie did nothing for me. I was checked out almost the entire time. Which is shocking to me, considering how brilliant Peckinpah usually is, and it features Steve McQueen...?! Some of the day-to-day interactions, like at the bar and whatnot were pretty interesting though. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/21/20 Full Review Read all reviews
