Somebody in Hollywood thought there was some fish-out-of-water potential in this teaming of wild man Woody Harrelson and slow-burning Kiefer Sutherland as a pair of New Mexico cowboys who go to New York to tame the wild, wild, uh ... East. Well, they were mistaken, because this 1994 action-comedy is little more than a tiresome reworking of Crocodile Dundee. Woody and Kiefer head for the Big Apple to rescue the illegal-immigrant daughter of one of their rodeo buddies (who has mysteriously disappeared), and what they discover is a sweatshop operation run by a hot-tempered thug (Dylan McDermott, before his role on TV's The Practice). That's when the boys start using their ropin' and shootin' skills to foil the bad guys. One measure of this film's credibility is the inevitable scene of the boys riding on horseback through the gridlocked streets of Manhattan. Uh huh. You know how it goes... you just have to go with it or marvel at the sheer stupidity of it all. Of course, forget all the sniping if you're a fan of Harrelson or Sutherland--they're both doing their best under the burden of disadvantage. --Jeff Shannon

Rating : - Broad"fish out of water"comedy
Sonny (Kiefer Sutherland)and Pepper(Woody Harrelson )are New Mexico cowboys .Sonny is the more sober and responsible of the pair while Pepper lives up to his name by being hot headed and quick tempered.They travel to unfamiliar territory ,New York City,to find a friend who has gone missing in the city.The man's daughter had previously vanished having been kidnapped by a gang using the sweated labour of illegal immigrants and kidnap victims .The plot revolves around their attempts to locate their friend and his daughter and there is a sub-plot about the attempts of one of the gang members(played by Dylan McDermott)to take over the leadership of the gang from the present incumbent -and being none too scrupulous as to methodology.

The comedy of the movie arises from incongruity -cowboys in a Latino bar ,trains being chased by horse riding cowboys and a Black New York cop with aspirations to live the cowboy lifestyle .The movie is a juxtaposition of "sophisticated"urban ways cheek by jowl with outsiders with an altogether more innocent ,naive and trusting view of the world ands who prove more than a match for the urbanites in many ways

Sutherland and Harrelson are fine and make a good pairing and help make the movie eminently watchable .The subject was better -and more soberly -treated in Coogan's Bluff but in its own cartoonish and broad way this is an energetic and watchable time passer
