MCT:June 1, 2008Sin mayores dialogos ni fanfarrias, esta simple pelicula de Peckinpah se luce con lo que no "dice" a primera vista: con aquella actuacion tan sutil de McQueen (cojeando los 20 primeros minutos de la cinta), con una puesta en escena impresionante y tan realista que se convierte en algo natural. Lugares sucios, gente desordenada, caos, nada de la limpieza hollywoodense. Y, dentro de eso, una historia de una revancha y reencuentro, tanto personal como familiar. Excelente cinta de Peckinpah, demostrando que sabe contar historias sin necesariamente darle el condimento violento al que se le asocia.

Ive seriously tried my ass of to get in to this..but i cant. Its boring as hell and puts me to sleep evrytime. I LOVE Peckinpah, but what the hell was he thinking about with this. Who the hell finds Rodeo films entertaining. And slo-mo bulldozers!? He mustve been really letting the booze and drugs take control around this time.

MCT:March 20, 2008Nice movie about a rodeo-cowboy played by Steve McQueen. Also starring Ida Lupino and Robert Preston as his parents.

Psychological drama about a down-on-his-luck rodeo horseman that returns to his hometown to see his folks. A rather quiet flick for Peckinpah but still interesting, especially for it's depiction of the rodeo competition and to top it all : Steve McQueen. Enough said.

This is a disappointing outing from Peckinpah and McQueen, despite the fact that it picks up emotional steam toward its conclusion. There is no reason to get attached to any of the characters until at least the last quarter of the film, and mainly only because McQueen's silence begins to grow on you. Also, Peckinpah's slow-motion, jump-cutting, cross-cutting style of direction just seems out of place in some sequences as this picture is one about ordinary life. It made me want to watch "The Wild Bunch" more than finish the rest of this film. Comparing this to "The Wild Bunch" would be a criminal offence though. I understand the lamentation and longing for the past that the picture frames, but the only interesting person to watch is McQueen.
