      Test T I discovered this one from 1994 on DVD recently. I'd never seen it before, and it appears to be quite a rare dvd. The critics don't seem to like it, but I'm a Woody Harrelson fan so I thought I'd give it a watch. The story is about two modern day cowboys who go to New York to rescue a friends daughter from a people trafficing gang. It's an old school movie, so there's plenty of stunt action scenes to enjoy. The acting is pretty good, and Woody is as entertaining as ever alongside Kiefer Sutherland who plays the other cowboy. I liked the fish out of water comedy provided by the cowboys in New York, and the long chase scene at the end was exciting. Highly recommended. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review dave c It was fun, silly, unbelievable and wacked. Worth a watch if you don't have anything else to do. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Jeff W That's the problem with rotten tomatoes, they always rank the goid movies low and the bad movies high. Its almost like they're bought and paid for by Hollywood or something. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/22/22 Full Review steve d It's fluff but really fun fluff. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is considered a classic in my house! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It's fun! Not believable or terribly dramatic but fun like a Saturday matinee cowboy movie is sposed to be. "Ol' Pepper sure can cowboy when he wants to..."

Jan 11, 2022 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews The Cowboy Way benefits substantially from Harrelson and Sutherland's superlative efforts... Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 18, 2020 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Mildly irritating cowboy tale about modern-day rodeo riders in Manhattan.
