Buddies Pepper Lewis (<a href=">Woody Harrelson) and Sonny Gilstrap (<a href=">Kiefer Sutherland) who are championship rodeo partners travel to New York to find their missing friend, Nacho Salazar <a href=">Joaquín Martínez after he disappears in New York City to pick up his daughter, Theresa (<a href=">Cara Buono). When Pepper and Sonny find that neither is anywhere to be found, they go about the wacky adventure of finding Nacho and Theresa, and in the process, test the foundation of their friendship. Along the way, they find themselves entwined in the inner workings of a New York sweat shop where Theresa has been enslaved after traveling to the U.S.A. from Cuba. Going about doing things in a cowboy way, Pepper and Sonny put their small town skills to the test in a big city kind of way and rescue Theresa from the thugs. As they visit New York, a pair of cowboys have to become unlikely heroes when their friend is kidnapped. I really enjoyed this movie. One of Woody's best. Keifer was good too. Not a new story line but new a spin on the Rescue of young girl from a Bad situation. <br/><br/>One of the best Kissing Scenes I've ever seen. Every time I have a shot of Tequila, I think of this movie and the fun things you can do with a Lime.<br/><br/>Also one of the funniest(?) most bizarre interrogations I've ever seen using a calf. Not very probable but just thinking a crook could be convinced to talk like this was a Hoot! Pepper Lewis (Woody Harrelson) and Sonny Gilstrap (Kiefer Sutherland) are competitive best friends on the rodeo circuit. Their friend Nacho travels to NYC to rescue his daughter Theresa (Cara Buono) from smugglers holding her after she escaped Cuba. Ruthless criminal John Stark (Dylan McDermott) is keeping Theresa to work in his sweatshop. Sonny finds Nacho's note and goes to join him with Pepper riding along. Pepper catches the eye of socialite Margarette (Marg Helgenberger). The guys befriend police horse patrolman Sam Shaw (Ernie Hudson). Sadly, Nacho has been murdered.<br/><br/>This is a fish out of water action comedy. There is the charismatic duo of Harrelson and Sutherland. They are fun together. The material isn't quite as good as those guys. There is little humor other than the bits generated by Harrelson with Sutherland as the straight man. The story is straight 90's good guys and bad guys. It's not anything great but there is good enough chemistry with the boys.
