Quotes:
Angelo:
How come you get into the sheep business, boss?
Jason Sweet:
Well, I'll tell ya, Angelo. You see, it's this way. I just got tired of kicking cows around. You know how dumb they are.
Angelo:
And you think sheep are smarter?
Jason Sweet:
Oh, no, no. They're dumber. Only their easier kicking...and woollier.

The interface between cattle ranchers and sheep herders is played for more amusement than viciousness. This movie came out before the violence reached the degrading state, but still has lots of excitement and suspense. Families with fairly young children can see this together without fear, boredom, or embarrassment. While it may not quite meet the current PC view of women, it still shows the female lead with a lot of personality and originality, without trying to make the men look stupid.
