[@thenebraskan6977]

A very good short western film. Excellent actors. A believable story.

[@trublu2556]

Thanks Cowboy

[@2001benraze]

This story probably sounded more epic in their heads. lol Also, that dudes voice was murder to listen to.

[@wardfittings8227]

Thank You !

[@puppetfun3591]

Just Wow.

[@hcp0scratch]

Movie diminished for me when the young fella removed his "clip" but the older dude did not question if there was one in the chamber. BASIC gun handler knowledge.

[@lesliesylvan]

Golly. It was a garl'darn hoot of a tale!

[@williamhenderson4168]

This was like a Quentin Tarantino movie but short. Love the blood splatters.😄🤣😂😅😜

[@Shinbusan]

Really nicely done! Great job. I see a lot of Rodriquez / Tarantino influence.

[@DeathBringer769]

Be funny if the kid pulled out a gun at the end and went "I'm the real Cowboy" lol.

[@kevinthompson9624]

@9:57 the dead guys foot moves. Hahaha, musta been cramping waiting for the dialogue to get done. Thanks for the entertainment gentlemen.

[@Cartier_specialist]

Pretty good short film.

[@ethericlimerick2992]

All very well written, acted & filmed... intense!

[@christophermasterson8753]

License plate "the x cowboy". I like that.

[@clintknox4188]

I think it actually means "Thanks Cowboy". That would make more sense considering the narrative.

[@darrenlytle7903]

One of the best short stories I have seen on youtube, Very cool

[@debraknight3552]

I loved it

[@markcrume]

Great little Indie film.Kudos to all involved.

[@joeygar1]

Great video. Good story, good acting and good directing. My hats off to your actors. Thank you...…………. Joey Garza

[@robertmccurdie2984]

Just had one enjoyable viewing time

[@nichlovichteslava6734]

First thing I thought when he ejected the pistol magazine and then said he was now not a threat was Oops, he never ejected the round in the chamber so he still has a 1 shot threat. Instead he pulls out a fricking Saturday night special! A really good video !!

[@deltaone2837]

Did he had a 1 shot tho ? I mean, what if he did not chambered a round in the chamber while reloading ? Of course, for a guy expecting trouble, you can imagine he did, but Baldy had no chances to know wether or not he had a round chambered in it. Which brings me to the question, why would he trust Sharp enough to believe that he was not lying ? Weird point tho.

[@416loren]

People have been killed making this mistake. He also called it a clip. They are actors, not gun people. I am not trying to be nit-picky. I am making a safety note. If anybody reading this, ever comes into contact with a lost gun, simply taking the magazine out DOES NOT make the gun safe. Almost every body that carries, carries with one in the chamber.

[@ibrahimkayikci2146]

@@deltaone2837 It's easy to miss with only one single bullet. It's not so easy to miss with two 18 guage shells in a shotgun. He probably thought he had better chances in a gunfight and decided to play along.

[@robertmedina5997]

The gun he pulled out on the bald guy was a revolver,it don't have a clip.

[@wolfguardian8312]

The subliminal humor kills me ...'n the ending is outstanding

[@tree01house]

You had me until he said, "you can have my clip.... ". Everyone professional shooter / writer knows they're called "MAGAZINES"

[@EpididymisCowper]

Best short seen so far

[@jaquavionbwilliams]

Watching this again I just noticed this isn’t famous already, this is actually really good and deserves more attention

[@benbowles8003]

Crime never pays. Fauci will learn this.....

[@joeygar1]

Wow!!……….. what a movie, I just wish it could have been a full movie. Great acting by the leading actors and supporting actors. Well, written, directed and good director of photography. Hope to see more films by you in the future. Thanks

[@cartoonballoons-comicscrea434]

A splendid job all around, guys! Good writing, acting, great-looking film.

[@yarsivad000.5]

It's no The Gunfighter. That's best short film ever! If you haven't seen ...You Must!

[@stockbluefox]

It's a bloody ballet of death.

[@nelliesilvers1210]

Just watched it before coming here. I thought it was funny asf 👌🏻

[@gritsnsand]

You're comparing a comedy to a drama. Apples to oranges. They're both good for what they are..

[@Monuments_to_Good_Intentions]

That it was

[@stupidmclovin]

@@gritsnsand This one sucked and was cringe af in just about every way.

[@delamordant]

I enjoyed but ... a cellphone ?

Bravo 👏 Excellent film!!

[@ausdoug974]

Lovely. I really enjoyed watching your film. Great job.

[@RichardDominguezTheMagicIsReal]

great short, terrific story and an outstanding 8 seconds towards the end, thanks for the upload

[@zitozito716]

The license plate had "thanks cowboy" written on it!!

[@warrencannon4974]

Normally I don't comment. Really good short film. Best,

[@miketemple7686]

FINALLY good acting and a decent script.

[@mamaboocee]

The music reminds me of the music from tv's Westworld. More from my mind after I watch the whole movie...

[@BrianSmith-ez9kj]

This came up randomly- wasn't sure what to expect, really good- Well filmed, the 2 Leads were great, the guy playing "Mister Sharp" was surprisingly funny- the Cowboy Myth had a Keyser Soze feel to it- quite good

[@keiranp0dbenn559]

I thought it really good too, given the run-time -14mins - it didn't feel rushed and though the Ending could only go 2 ways really - the Cop with the kid & dead wife was always getting home ! - it was well done for a Budget Short. Good Direction, Production and Acting - I was very impressed with both Leads and "Bloody Faced Corpse Against Wall" guy ! ✌☘POD 🙂 - 👍👍👍👍

[@1BABartz1]

He popped the mag, but didn’t clear the chamber. Sloppy.

[@timbragg4546]

This was really good.

[@soldierfire]

I saw a short of your channel and I swear to min God-I searched for you as a creator!!!I barely do that for my cowboy container! Imagine that(you probably have already tbh)👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿❤️

[@soldierfire]

Also...I should probably watch the movie first before I let you know 😂😭😂😭😂😭 Yee Yee 🎉🎉I am shooting from the hip 🤠🐮👖🐄

[@Xandere619]

No entiendo la historia pero me está gustando el corto

[@garygerard4290]

The opening filming was excellent. Camera angles, lighting, music and editing. The scene in the shack was not believable. Cool ending at the seashore.

[@joeguzman3558]

From the very beginning you can tell the guy was waiting for him looking out the window

[@andykao6621]

Splendid. Acting. Bravo

[@skycrafts5140]

Very good! Loved the twist! 👍

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

Excellent job! This proves the value of a short story and a short film.

[@stephenbruce5431]

So good! Love the storytelling and the acting. Beautifully executed.

[@stevenewman7020]

..very well filmed - great locations - wasn't sure whether it was a homage to the Spaghetti Western - in other words, the main point and thrust of the film was unclear..

[@randomdutchguy]

Simply awesome

This was unbelievable.

[@bnbwhitezombie]

A white, two door Eldorado! Like in Thunderbolt And Lightfoot! cool. This was a great film!

[@roo3566]

So this is the pool from which Hellyweird is taking its screenwriters....folk that think we are all incredibly thick. COOL..not.🙄😫 Seems like the most dangerous thing the "actors" have ever held is their casting directors member, and that the initial protagonist's main skill is smoking 40 a day to have a husky voice.

[@gilbertwilliams7256]

for a moment I didn't know if we were talking about the cowboy or Keyser Soze LOL

[@pam1574]

GILBERT WILLIAMS The Usual Suspects 👍😃

[@LesterMoore]

Not for nothing however, away back in the late 60s in I Corps, Vietnam, an unrepentant thief was called a cowboy.

[@Jesta747200]

The suitcase disappeared when he stood up...

[@themadbadger2920]

He says, "Give me your gun." "No, it's my favorite, you can have the clip."(magazine!) Two things- if that was his favorite gun, that means he has another, second, the guy should have told him to clear the chamber! Next, he says, "Do you have anymore guns?" Guy says, "No." Yeah just take his word for it!!! Ridiculous! If you walked into a room full of dead guys, would you take the word of the only guy sitting there? Nah!

[@peterruiz6117]

Found this by accident. It was GREAT . And, for once or twice, believable shooting tactics. Bring on some more !

[@jondoe9164]

⭐⭐⭐✨ 3.5 out of 5.... (Coming from a VERY harsh critic)

[@Menzu1]

I thought it was a weak performance and made no sense, you come in a room full of dead bodies and 1 calm guy just sitting down. Nope. i would just shoot the calm guy and leave, i figure out what happened later.

[@deloachapproach4273]

Supremely done!!! Happy endings, so rare these days, are not overrated!

[@pnayeri]

So obvious a Persian wrote the script! The over use of “my friend “ in the dialogue can only come out of a Persian imagination my friends!

[@SUPERHERO54321]

GREAT ENDING TOO

[@abbasmaghsoudi2923]

Omid shabkhiz? Pesare hamid shabkhiz? Baba damesh garm

[@doranmaxwell1755]

Haliburton cases... Love em... have three or four. Some guns will not fire even with one in the chamber if there is no magazine in the gun. Not something I would count on tho. Kinda funny.. all these good production westerns.. spent lots of money on em.. can't have one of the 90 million gun owners that know this stuff as a consultant? I would do it for free.

[@colinp2238]

I wonder how he managed to drive himself after being shot up so much? They were in the middle of nowhere and on some dodgy roads he would have bled to death before he could get any where to have his wounds treated.

[@erik1836]

Yes. Sloppy writing.

[@edwardsisson3580]

This film was a testimonial to: Quentin Tarantino

[@TheCaptnHammer]

Nice short. One small error. Freeze the video at 3:30. You can see the cigarette pack on the floor in front of his feet and the pistol magazine on the table. When he sits down just seconds later the cigarette pack is on the table with the magazine. I love finding small in-continuities like this. Great job guys.

[@volkerallert5364]

There was still a round left in that glock after taking the clip out. I was waiting the whole time to see if he used it. I was disappointed to see the 2nd gun. I felt like it would have been more clever for him to pull the glock back out.

[@christschool]

@Robert LaRoque He gave him the clip from the Glock when he asked for his gun in the beginning.
