Hey folks, Harry here... and if the plot for SWEATING BULLETS doesn't make you at least smirk... I don't know what will. The concept of COWS attempting to capture a desperado... Well, have you ever looked at a cow? I have, I own a ranch in North Texas with tons of cattle on it. I spent a good portion of my life raising cattle... throwing out bales of hay, running them through the chute for branding and castration. And in all that time, I never saw the spark of intelligence in a single cow or steer or bull's eye. There was that dull glimmer of dimness upon their brow. They just stand there. Bow their heads. And Chew their cud. Cattle as action stars... heheheh... I can't wait to visually see how they make this convincing. Cuba as the horse though... A horse is a smart animal. Glad he isn't one of the cattle... I knew Cuba was smarter than that... :)
Harry,
I've never sent a report to you before, but take my word, this is straight shooting.
First of all, Cuba plays neither a cow nor a steer, but gives his voice to a horse named Jake who joins the cows in their quest to save the farm.
The farm is apparently owned by a woman who can't make the mortgage payments (Sarah Jessica Parker???) and is faced with eviction. The cows don't want to be evicted and so decide that they must find a way to raise the $1,000-or-so in back payments. They hear of a wanted criminal named Slim (supposedly Randy Quaid's character) whose capture carries enough reward money to save the farm. The film is spent following the escapades that ensue, with Cuba's character, Jake the Horse, helping the cows catch Slim. Apparently Jake's owner is a bounty hunter, for what it's worth.
Hope this is helpful.
