Weakest of the Series
Cowboys: Murder! (1991)
** (out of 4)
This entry in Phil Mulloy's "Cowboys" series starts off with a cowboy going around killing various others for no apparent reason. The village is outraged and once the killer is caught, they all turn into killers themselves wanting his blood to spill. Like many others in the series, this one here comes with a clear message but at the same time I found it to be the weakest. I think the message is quite clear but I just didn't think it worked because the entire "killing for entertainment" just doesn't come across overly well. I think it might have worked better had the director came up with something better because I'm not sure what else the villagers were supposed to do with the maniac killer. As with the previous films, the animation is rather crude but it certainly helps build up a nice atmosphere that fits the subject nicely. The film is certainly far from a bad one but I think it falls well short of the others in the series.
