Paul Newman and Lee Marvin listlessly drift through a thin story about two down-and-out guys who get hired by a well-known swindler to buy cattle in Mexico and bring them back. The men are surprised when the known-swindler swindles them. Occasionally, Carole King sings.
There is no clever dialog, no interesting character development, no love interest or sex scene, and no resolution. In the end the movie simply drops dead with the story unresolved. Watching these two screen giants stumbling through Mexico trying to buy and round up scrubby underfed cattle simply doesn't add up to a movie; yet top talent was employed for art direction, etc..
If you like Paul Newman or Lee Marvin, skip this awful mess. What could they have been thinking.
