While the "Wild Bunch" was about the west during the period of industrialization around the turn of the century, "The Hi Lo Country" deals with the period of superindustrialization following World War II.
Woody Harrelson and Billy Crudup play two cowboys who fall for the same woman, Patricia Arquette. Harrelson as the violent "Big Boy" shows no sense of morality or humilty as the film's main protagonist, while Crudup as "Pete" is almost the exact opposite. Sam Elliot portrays a villanous rancher/industrialist, while the desirable Penelope Cruz is the overlooked, unrequitted love in Pete's life.
All of the actors turn in solid performances, but what makes this film special is the story itself, the direction, and Jerry Goldsmith's subtle, forceful soundtrack.
A horse opera that begins with a cowboy getting thrown from a standing horse. Doesn’t sound like a propitious beginning, does it? Woody Harrelson gives his usual over-the-top performance. Billy Cruddup on the other hand is understated as always, the kind of actor who inhabits his part without drawing attention to himself. The two make uncomfortable partners in style and in this movie. Billy’s character gives background narration throughout. The movie left me feeling uncomfortable as if something is missing but I just can’t put my finger on it.
Shot in 1998 at a time when Woody still had hair on his head. Cowboy Westerns were well past their heyday and open range worked by men on horseback had become a thing of the past. For the price this disk is well worth the price of admission.
Possible spoilers
Narrated by Billy Crudup one of those actors whose name you may remember seeing in a list of performers but most would find difficulty in identifying. I think it would be safe to say he has a love/hate relationship with Hollywood--it's where you go to make the movies but you don't want to get drawn in too tight. After all he refused the lead in Titanic to play a movie few have probably seen.
Ironic that at 6 1 Cole Hauser who plays Little Boy towers over his brother Big Boy. This movie turns the classic love triangle into a quadrangle as our two principals share an interest in another man's wife. Pete lusts after the unattainable while ignoring the woman who has always truly loved him. Is the baby whose name is to be Pete the child of his seed? Just asking.
