i be rating this pretty high just because of sam elliott . i could have do without the female nudity but i would sit through almost any nonsense in order to see sam strut his stuff . he get to spout wonderfully cynical witticism and many of which i agree with and and it a joy to see him in a role in which he actually get to emote instead of just stand around scowl and look virile a can be . my boyfriend opine that this movie be in a couple of way similar to a film in which ed harris have a hispanic partner ( in the police sense of the term . ) who be a little overeager to prove himself . you can draw your own conclusion on that score but if you like sam and you will like this . you could say i be bias and but who isn not in some way . i would buy this on dvd in a heartbeat .
