 The defining Western March 12, 1999
lindsay@the-craigs.com (Minnesota & Montana)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This unerrated movie encapsulates the Western. Initially creating the "stock" feel of a cowboy movie by immediate immersion in worn stereotypes, the film quickly cuts them down and redefines what a real "man" was in the West. Maltin calls it unnecessarily violent, but in comparison to "The Long Riders" and later Eastwood films, the sparing violent acts ring true, though painful. A beautiful, troubling, searching movie which can be read at face value for fun, or delved into as deeply as one could want. After viewing it, no Western is ever the same.
A great unknown western February 14, 2006

A fantastic western. Every character fits. If you like just what a western is supposed to be, you will revel in this movie. I have been waiting for years for a dvd of this classic. "The Culpepper Cattle Company", Billy Green Bush and the bunch... If you've never seen it, and you love westerns, you will enjoy - no, treasure - this movie...
Perhaps the most realistic Western of all June 14, 2000

For realism, this movie is hard to beat!'Culpepper Cattle Co.' is the story of a young boy who has his heart set on becoming a cowboy. He is successful in getting hired as cook's helper on a drive. The movie chronicles the cattle drive, which encounters outlaws, a conspiracy of townspeople, and the normal arguments, drinking and fights between the drovers. It is gritty, and it 'feels real.' The boy, Ben, is surrounded by the rigors and realities of life on the trail. The characters are well and believably acted, although by relatively unknown actors (at least to me.) Which perhaps is best, because one is not distracted by the expectations of some movie star's predictable reactions to each situation. This is a fine movie, and one which provides some humor, suspense, and a good plot. It may be the best of its genre you will ever see, despite the lack of expensive, top talent to act the parts.

One of the best Westerns you'll ever see! April 26, 1999

I watched this video back in the 70's during my time in the army. There are scenes that indicate exceptional artistry in production and directing. One of those is the race between two "kids" in their father's buck-boards. It was a modern day capture of the teenage drag race, only back in western days. It starts out in slow motion and slams into full action speed at just the right time! More of this kind of bringing the message to you kind of production makes this movie a great buy!
 Superb action/scenery-weak story tone March 9, 2006

Maginficent cattle action and scenery. Disappointing story line, at times very unbelievable. Overall tone does not inspire a good feeling. I found the ending section ridiculous---the kid has earlier killed the bartender, but now he 'bravely' refuses to use his gun on the villein, who is killed by one of the riders who suddenly comes to life. Also, I'm not into cult religion, but I find film's ridiculing depiction of the leader of the cult a blatant attack on religion in general.
