Pauline Kael

The Cowboys which features one of the most torpid cattle drives since the invention of motion pictures, is an incomparable index to the confusion of values in the movie business right now.

...a better-than-average Wayne vehicle...

Dern certainly has no difficulty donning the guise of a villain.

A summer of brutally hard work, hunger, camping in the elements, and rattlesnake danger will certainly turn boys into men. In this case, however, it appears to supernaturally turn boys into a seasoned platoon of modern-day special operations warriors.

Classic action-packed Western has lots of cursing, violence
