Synopsis
The Hi-Lo Country (1998) is Stephen Frears' elegiac Western, free to watch online on iFILM. Two cowboys come home from World War II to a New Mexico that is quietly slipping away from the open range.
Pete and Big Boy pick up where they left off — driving cattle, drinking hard, riding the high country. Then one woman gets between them. Mona is married to the local foreman, and both men want her without ever saying so. Billy Crudup and Woody Harrelson play the friends; Patricia Arquette is Mona, with Penélope Cruz as the woman who actually loves Pete back.
Adapted from Max Evans' novel and produced by Martin Scorsese, the film trades shootouts for slow-burn longing and bruised male pride. It is a Western for people who came for the mood, not the gunfights. Stream The Hi-Lo Country online on iFILM.
