Jack McKee (Jeff Bridges) and Cecil Colson (Sam Waterston) are bumbling drifters who make a living by rustling cattle in the wilds of Montana. Jack left his wealthy parents because he resented their posh lives. Cecil is of Caucasian and Native American descent seeking his own path in life away from his grumpy cowboy father (Joe Spinell). Both Jack and Cecil hustle and rustle their way in the world by targeting cattle owned by wealthy ranch-owner John Brown (Clifton James). Frustrated that someone is killing his cattle, John hires a pair of ranch hands, Burt and Curt (Richard Bright and Harry Dean Stanton), to find the rustlers. When Brown realizes he cannot trust his two inept ranch hands, he turns to the grizzled former rustler Henry Beige (Slim Pickens) to find the cattle thieves. Jack and Cecil always stay a step ahead of their pursuers, not realizing that their luck must run out sometime.

| Parallax ViewRichard T. JamesonI have to be on the side of any film in which Harry Dean Stanton is ordered to "Hoover the Navajos"-i.e., vacuum-clean the Indian rugs. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA funny movie set in contemporary Montana that is rich in oddball characters and a light satirical touch |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThere'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. |
| Chicago ReaderDon DrukerSurprise: Frank Perry kept his wits about him long enough to make this mildly watchable 1974 film about the modern west. |
| User ReviewEthan Ri loved every minute of this movie, this was the second movie i had seen with jeff bridges in it |
| User ReviewBridget CMy Dad was a casting director for this in 1974. Fortunately, he cast himself as the "auctioneer". Saw it the first time when I was 9 years old. |
| User ReviewPamela DI laughed so hard I nearly peed my pants. Oh wait...er.. ah....ooops. |
| User Reviewtrish RI liked it!! Early Jeff Bridges, fun to watch. |
| User ReviewZach WRancho Deluxe is an aquired taste flick that is rich in it's execution. Jeff Bridges and Sam Waterston do a great job of portraying two subtley surreal and dead-pan funny cattle-rustlers. The atmosphere and cinematograpy of the movie is equisite and relaxing to enjoy. Harry Dean Stanton does a great job as he always does. My only wish for an editing in this film is to have more of Mr. Stanton in the flick. Otherwise, I love this movie. |
