6/10
Off-beat, visionary
5 September 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Off-beat, visionary film about dope fiend Dillon and his group of misfit drug addicts who go from drug store to drug store looking for the ultimate high. Gus Van Sant's critically acclaimed picture tells the story very well, with good performances from all his lead players. The plot is never riveting, but Van Sant gets you interested early and keeps you so throughout. "Cowboy" is a short film, either due to excessive editing, or the fact that Van Sant ran out of material, probably the more likely of the two.

The definite highlight of the movie is the visual and original cinematography, as we are confronted with some detailed and different camera shots. Worth a look.
