Buffalo Boys
These are the events of the two brothers who spent many years in exile. When two brothers named Jamar and Suwo returned to the Java land, both seemed to insist on revenge from their father, who was the Sultan. Perhaps it is a real tragedy that the two brothers have experienced for many years in exile in America, where both decide to return all of the above by avenging their father.

Preoccupied with pure, unabashed enjoyment, a decision that leads to its chief triumphs. It may not lead to any grand revelation about colonialism, but it certainly is a wild and electrifying journey.January 10, 2019
This 19th-century genre mashup can be giddy fun, though it's a good deal more mindless than its historical context would have you believe.February 12, 2019
Funny as it is, the viewer has a hard time deciding if it is cool neo-western or outright camp.January 10, 2019
The fights are leaden... and the character development is constrained by dumb dialogue, such meager tending-to of an Asian action flick's primary draw is nigh unforgivable.January 11, 2019
[A] moderately entertaining, immoderately splattery spaghetti Western...January 17, 2019
It's a wonderfully refreshing take on the Western genre thanks to the culturally significant setting and the awesome action sequences, even if other aspects of the film fall short.January 11, 2019
While Buffalo Boys may not be everything it could have been, it is sometimes good enough.July 31, 2018
On a sheer popcorn-entertainment level, the film is great fun to watch.January 11, 2019
Buffalo Boys ends up somewhat awkwardly caught between mainstream glorifications of violence and more restrained cultural norms emphasizing respect and harmony. This inherent creative conflict however remains mostly obscured by the action-oriented plot...
