A rodeo documentary with a little acting thrown in...

doghouse-8

This film starts slow and gets slower.......way too many "slo-mo" rodeo scenes, "slo-mo" barroom brawling, and "slo-mo" bulldozing scenes.  The first half hour seemed to be about driving cattle (lots of mooing and stampeding into pens) while Steve McQueen sits and stares. It picks up anytime Robert Preston has a scene, and whenever the actors actually speak to one another.  Ben Johnson was pretty good, but generally speaking the acting was fairly weak.  5/10

score 5/10
