Sorry, this movie sucks

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

This movie is quite atypical of zombie films, yet retains the essence of "Night of the Living Dead". It's different because it focuses on three characters, without the usual redshirts.But like "Night of the Living Dead", it's focused on the interaction between the characters.However, the extended action scenes of the protagonist gunning down shambling zombies mean its ultimately an exploitation flick and nothing more.But without including spoilers I can't explain why "Cowboys and Zombies" doesn't work. The real problem is towards, we learn important information about the male protagonists and then, one is abruptly killed, the other dying soon afterwards. It comes out of nowhere and makes the story feel kinda pointless.

Really, what dd you expect? This was an indie film done by mostly local people with tiny budget. You go into this film without much expectation and it doesn't disappoint. Perez has put together a showcase of his talents as a young filmmaker and this film is merely him cutting his teeth. He shows promise with the action scenes, but the story line is generic. The actors ... well ... let's just say it seems the cast and crew had fun making this. The post-production effects are elementary, the make-up actually inspired (the high point of the film) and the boobs are, well, epic. What can I say; I'm a guy. If your goal it to watch zombie movies, make sure this one is on your list. You can make it fun by having a drinking game related to the anachronisms (I see plywood ... drink!).

OK..did the director go to a Mall and say "Hey- Who wants to be in a movie?". I don't think anyone in the cast has ever acted before and if they did then I am sure someone must have said "Don't quit your day job". YIKES this is a bad movie. This movie is perfect for a 12 year old boy who wants to look at breasts. You get the really big ones to the small breasts.. (give me a break) The plot is dumb..the movie is slow..the actors are horrible...special effects aren't bad though. I paid $1.29 with my Red Box Rental and I am sure I paid $1.00 too much. This movie is MAYBE worth .29 cents....probably not.....I am a big fan of Zombie Movies..but WOW..NOT THIS ONE! The Chief was the only decent actor in the bunch. Was this suppose to be campy...well..maybe..but it did not work. HELLO Mr. Director..I would actually watch my movie before I released it. BAD BAD BAD......enough said.

The very first thing that's noticeable about this flick is that the actors don't seem to have much experience with firearms. OK, not that bad of a detail, I mean it's not like it is a cowboy, shoot 'em up movie, or a zombie movie...wait a minute! After that, the protagonist, the leading man, kept reminding me of Michael Jackson with his uber high pitched voice. That's okay, it isn't like he's playing a really manly character, like a cowboy, or a zombie killer and...hey, wait a minute! If you're going to cast a manly character, please keep him away from the helium! The writing was garbage, the scenery was obviously recently built, maybe a recreation village of civil war reenactors or something, and the story line was only in place enough to show some glorious hooters, which was the only redeeming feature of this flick.And while we're on the subject of voices, let's talk about the amazing Tonto, or village person, the Indian. Against the backdrop of the cloudless sky of the great American West, the notorious wanted Indian stands proud with his hair gloriously blowing in the wind as he cleverly hides from justice. Wait, he hides from justice by standing up on a outcropping of rock posing with hair blowing in wind? OK, but at least he had a manly voice to go with those rugged and amazingly clean and obviously brand new clothes he wore, but wait! He spoke to the hero (using the hero term very, very loosely) and his deeply spiritual native American voice was inexplicably replaced by the single most Californian uber-proper English speech, right out of a way-too expensive acting school. He also had a sibilance in his S's that would make a SNAKE jealous. This is no Indian! I thought to myself. It probably cost a buck eighty to make, and the writer and director didn't deserve a dime of it.I couldn't stand to watch more than ten minutes without fast forwarding through to the mundane and disappointing end. I can't comment on the acting because there wasn't enough acting among the entire cast to actually form an opinion. It's like trying to explain what space smells like.
