If it wasn't for Jay (Frank Raducz jr) being a minor drug kingpin, he
and his stripper girlfriend Victoria (Alandrea Martin) would be the
perfectly boring suburban couple. Heck, he even only trades in soft drugs
to avoid trouble - but when you're not looking for trouble, trouble might
come looking for you ... and so, one day Jay learns that one of his street
dealers, his oldest friend Alex (Matty Finochio), has cheated the Serbian
cartel led by barber Vuk (Zoran Radanovich) out of quite a bit of money,
more money than Jay had ever owned, and what's worse, Alex has already
spent all of the money to pay a gambling debt. But the worst is, Vuk makes
Jay responsible for this and wants his money back with interest, otherwise
... well, and since Jay hasn't got nearly enough man- or firepower to
stand up to the Serbians, he pretty much has to try the hardest, even if
he has to torture money out of some of the guys who owe him, has to get
his underlings to work harder, and heck he even breaks into Alex' place to
give him a sound beating and look if there's anything of value to be
found. But for all his efforts, he still falls quite a bit short of
histarget, and Vuk isn't one to extend his payment period - so he and
Victoria come up with a very desparate plan, one that no longer has
anything to do with their chill life anymore ... Suburban
Cowboy is quite a likeable crime thriller, one that for a change
doesn't deal with the top bosses and their turf wars but mid-level
criminals who ask themselves more often than not why they're doing this
when they're not getting rich, why not get an ordinary job that would go
better with suburban life ... and still, they can't escape the downward
spiral they've originally gotten on out of their own free will - but that
might sound a bit brain-heavy now, while the film's just really
entertaining, a cool mix of plenty of tension, the violence one might
expect from a movie like this, sharp dialogue, but also quiet scenes that
give the whole thing extra authenticity. In short, really worth a watch!
