Buffalo Boys

After months of anticipation and high hopes (partly because of the shiny-looking-trailer), Buffalo Boys proves itself as a worthy new kind of action-tale that sets its foot right to build their own world. Buffalo Boys nailed in taking audiences into the old times, one with leather hats & boots. Having said that, it feels safe, too safe; from a generic villain boss, (two) damsel in distress, to emotionally instructive score (good ones, fortunately) with moments meant to achieve ideas bigger than what its capable to accomplished. Well at least they gives cliche a good name. Good thing that they has its moment-the fight choreography is superb with long duration, cool action scenes, and there are even some excellent explosions. Fun to watch. Don't be too angry if you guys found the drama as "too much". Can't wait to see more from this "world". The job done quite nicely, hopefully some improvements would be made in the next movie.

Ok so some of the plot is predictable and I would prefer not to have to read subtitles but this is a very interesting and enjoyable movie. Everyone has an opinion but some of the narrow-minded, ignorant, one star ratings on here are ridiculous. Is it an American movie? No of course not but it is worth watching.

If you expect action you'll get it in this movie. the storyline ain't that heavy or original but a decent action for ASEAN markets. skip this movie if you don't like indonesian speaking cowboys or don't know where's Indonesia is on a map.

I love westerns, but this was unbearable. Three men just watch as everyone is brutalized, oppressed, raped, killed, beaten, beheaded, hung and tortured. They do everything wrong or just nothing at all. 3/4 of the characters have many chances to end the bad guy yet none even try. Painful to watch. Been watching westerns for over 50 years, this is in my bottom ten. Poor script, poor acting, and predictable.

I saw strong influences of Kurosawa in this film, with overtones of Peckinpah. The mix works surprisingly well.

Unfortunately the guys in the lead roles were not really up to the task. I realize that as acting styles vary in other countries, but these guys lacked credibility. Perhaps the echoes of Kurosawa had me looking for a Mifune.

The romantic substory seemed extraneous and forced.
