Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) There's a proven framework for a documentary series to build on. But it's dragged down by recreations that are so incremental and banal that they limit the story's potential. Rated: 3/5 Aug 15, 2024 Full Review Margaret Lyons New York Times “Cowboy” is admirably lucid about the ins and outs of money laundering, and it nimbly anticipates all the “is everything a criminal does a crime?” arguments a skeptical viewer or defense lawyer may have. Aug 6, 2024 Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times There are times when Cowboy Cartel gets a bit lost in the weeds of bureaucracy, but directors and executive producers Dan Johnstone and Castor Fernandez do an impressive job of holding our attention. Rated: 3/4 Aug 3, 2024 Full Review Johnny Loftus Decider Cowboy Cartel has a unique angle on the drug war to explore as it delves into the FBI’s case against Miguel Traviño and Los Zetas... Aug 9, 2024 Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming After a derivative first episode, Cowboy Cartel opens into an exhilarating and highly entertaining retelling of how a team of agents were able to dismantle one of the most dangerous cartels in history. Rated: 3/5 Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Peter Martin DallasFilmNow.com Impressive in scope ... instantly absorbing ... quickly transforms into an urgent and gripping true story. It feels like a campfire tale told at dusk, gaining power as the darkness falls and the fire burns brighter. Rated: 3.5/5.0 Aug 1, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
