For whatever reason, I saw the title and gave it a try. It's about a loser kid who is unhappy with his easy middle-class life. So he turns to crime in stupid ways. Nothing much happens, and the movie stretches out that nothing until it almost breaks.
I watched up until the 22-year-old star said he was 14. I put up with the cheesey diaglogue. I put up with the mom defending her do-nothing son as if he was misunderstood. I put up with his two friends teaching him how to be a bad guy even though he was the one with the violent record.
But the kid just ain't 14. What is this, 90210?

This movie rocks. Brian Keith and Charleston Heston doing what they do best. Ford, Wayne, and Bond never had this much fun doing a movie.
Keith and Heston play two grizzled old farts who grumble all the time and shake off injuries in much the Wayne style. They fight tons of Indians.
Heston hooks up with this young woman who becomes central to the story. She doesn't want to go back to her tribe, but the fighting will continue until she does. The last thing this woman is is weak. She kicks serious butt. None of this fake look-at-my-heinie-as-I-gyrate-Lucy-Liu fighting, but real fighting. She beats up men, gets knocked out, gets trampled by a horse, but there is no stopping her.
Excellent action scenes. Eastwood and Wayne couldn't have done better. Redford certainly did much worse in his weak, pathetic caricature of the infamous Liver Eater Jeremiah Johnson. The real Johnson wouldn't have cried all the way like Redford did. He would have kicked butt like Heston and Keith.
The movie pits man against man, man against animal, and occasionally woman against man. In all fight scenes, no one backs down. All fight with honor, with the exception of one lone Frenchman.
Despite my love of good action scenes, my favorite parts of this movie are the wisecracks, especially Keith. He has a lot of them.
If I ever get to be a trapper in 1860 Wyoming, I hope that I can find these guys.
And if I get real lucky, maybe Cheston's babe has a sister.
