The Kid

This wasn't that bad. I mean, the preformances were really strong and I found the action pretty entertaining. Because the director took inspiration from Tarantino and Sergio Leone. Where this falls flat is the script. Itdoesn't make sense a lot of the times. Also in the beginning the pacing was really bad and slow. Overall, if you look at it in a technical way it's pretty bad but the way I look at it, I found it entertaining and fun. "The Kid" gets a B.

This film tells the story of a young boy and his sister who are given a lift by a sheriff.

It has quite an engaging story, and it is a little different from the other Westerns because not everyone dies in it. There are even emotional elements too, as Billy the Kid delivers a confessional monologue.

I've seen more than a few good western films in my day and I really enjoyed this one. If you don't treat it like a history book, you to will enjoy it also. The clothing for once is an exact replica of the iconic Billy the Kid photo and also reflects might what have been his true personality, or elements of it (at least). I found the relationship between the young boy and Billy, quite moving in places. I wonder if the real Billy ('The Kid') had such a good heart. One thing he did possess, was an uncanny knack of being able, to shoot himself, out of any tricky situation.

It's a MOVIE....not a documentary and, as such, not subject to accuracy but rather creative license. This was a very entertaining way to spend an hour and forty minutes. Dave DeHaan is incredibly convincing as Billy the Kid- and his portrayal of a conflicted, very young man might just be the most accurate part of the movie and it works. Again, if you're looking for accuracy, go to the History Channel. If you're looking for entertainment, you found your movie.

Billy The Kid is once again our protagonist in another retelling of the tale. Only this time the story of a brother and sister orphaned on the New Mexico frontier have their situation cross with last days of Billy The Kid.

Ethan Hawke is Pat Garrett and Dane DeHaan is Billy who seems to have drawn a lot from what Emilio Estevez did in the Young Guns movies.

Brother and sister Jake Schur and Leila George are on the run after Schur shoots his abusive father who had just killed his mother. They are running from Chris Pratt who is his uncle who wants vengeance on his relations.

It's their fate for the two kids to find shelter in a place Billy The Kid uses as a hideout and he comes there with a posse close behind.

Afterward Pratt catches up with the kids and takes George prisoner. It's then up to young Schur to decide who can help, Pat Garrett or William Bonney,

This is a decent well done western. Hawke makes a properly heroic Garrett, but the recklessness of Billy draws Schur in. Actor Vincent D'Onofrio late of Law And Order Criminal Intent directs this with a brisk style and he has a small part as another sheriff.

I'm sure The Kid will not be the last the big screen sees of Pat and Billy.
