Review of Cowboy Smoke

Cowboy Smoke (2008)
9/10
Creative, fun, suspenseful - a true modern-day classic western
13 November 2008
Cowboy Smoke is a solid modern-day western, fun to watch and a great homage to the classic spaghetti westerns of the 60s and 70s. The character of Joe (played by Mike Lutz) isn't your typical cool, calm and collected cowboy hero from the start. But through great directing and Lutz's solid acting chops, Joe transforms into a classic western character to be appreciated by any film-goer. The film has action, drama, suspense and a touching love story... not to mention a few laughs along the way.

I attended a sold-out screening of Cowboy Smoke at the Austin Film Festival after having seen the fliers posted around at the festival venues... and I'm happy to say I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the film. Strong directing, a talented cast, beautiful cinematography and score. Kudos to writer/director Moore and his team!
