    I don't think that Gus Van Sant gets the recognition that he deserves. He's one of the true artists in the movie industry. Because this is one of the greatest movies to come out in the past 25 years. I could watch this over and over again and still find some part compelling. **** brilliant.

    Drugstore Cowboy is one of the best films in the long tradition of American outlaw road movies - a tradition that includes "Bonnie and Clyde," "Easy Rider," "Midnight Cowboy" and "Badlands."

    Drugstore Cowboy improves. Not much, but in provocative ways.

    No previous drug-themed film has the honesty or originality of Gus Van Sant's drama Drugstore Cowboy.
