The Old West Goes Farther West — To Java — In Genre Mashup 'Buffalo Boys'
Two cowboys who left Singapore for the American West return home to avenge the death of their father in this giddy, fast-paced B-movie.
The Western rejects the West in Buffalo Boys, a postcolonial B-movie in which two Indonesian brothers use an assortment of pistols, blades and livestock to defend their nation from their Dutch oppressors. 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.
