What a wonderful little indie! I bought this film not knowing what to expect. The cover with the husband and wife looming ominously in the background as the cute cowboy looks down is what attracted me to it. So, after MULTIPLE viewings, I have to say (to quote another comment on here) that "this film rocks!" It is such a twisted little study in the human psyche and what makes the characters compelling is that they are NOT one-dimensional and do not do what you would normally expect. They're not perfect just like in life. The storyline kept me glued to the edge of my seat as I realized in the second time I watched it that the script gives away little clues from the beginning that would help you solve the mystery that looms over this tragic trio. The acting was very competent and the two guys were very handsome in very different ways; the husband was the older, button-up, business type while the cowboy was cute in a very elf-like kind of way. The wife also gave an outstanding performance as a pill-popping, sex-craved, nut who couldn't put two and two together if her life depended on it. All in all, a great effort and a worthy addition to any film collection.

Just rented this from the store, and I didn't really know what to expect...I don't really rent these "independent" pictures. But I was putting on my spurs and getting ready to water the flowers by the end. It was an impressively gripping and moving "classic melodrama", with acting turns that you just wouldn't expect from the genre! The impression that I got was that it was going to capitalize on Brokeback Mountain, but the plot and narrative were fresh and focused: The story of husband and wife at odds with nature (and earthly temptation) had me engaged and moved. Gregory Christian was a strong and commanding lead (a real man), and I really felt sorry for the faithful wife (Elyse Mirto). The Cowboy (James Michael Bobby) was impish at best, but I feel he did not pull his weight in what was otherwise a stellar ensemble. He would have been more believable were his accent sustained through the scenes. The production was handsomely tailored to the budget, making it a classy parlor room suspense thriller that delivered with effective directing and cutting dialogue. A shot out of the corral for all orientations, Cowboy Junction is a must!

This movie was a breath of fresh air and was not like most of the trite and fluffy "boy meets boy" movies that saturate the gay movie genre. Sure, it's kind of erotic and has the obligatory eye-candy but what really struck me about it was the dynamics between the characters of the husband and wife. I was in a relationship very similar to theirs and I appreciated the jokes that lightened their sad story. I thought those two did an awesome job and, being a performer myself, I know how hard it is to play material that is so layered like that. At times, it felt like a dark David Lynch flick and then it switched gears into classic Hollywood melodrama. Either way, it worked and buying the video was definitely worth it. Plus, it's got so many classic one-liners that it's very tongue-in-cheek kind of like "Desperate Housewives" is. My friends and I have already set up a viewing party!

I enjoyed Cowboy Junction so much that I told all my friends about it. For a low Budget indie film I very impressed. Gregory Christian did a wonderful job portraying the troubled mind of a gay man and his lover. Everybody sees the title and thinks "Brokeback Mountain' Well think again. The actors and actresses that Christian casts did a wonderful job. Indie films amaze me with their low budgets, no-name actors, actresses etc. and this film is another that surprised me. I went into it not really expecting much but came out of it pleasantly surprised. I even cried a little. I give this film 2 thumbs up...it was fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone who really likes indie films.
