Description

In this thrilling Western, a young boy, Rio (Jake Schur), is forced to go on the run across the American Southwest in a desperate attempt to save his sister (Leila George) from his villainous uncle (Chris Pratt). Along the way, he encounters Sheriff Pat Garrett (Ethan Hawke), on the hunt for the infamous outlaw Billy the Kid (Dane DeHaan). Rio finds himself increasingly entwined in the lives of these two legendary figures as the cat and mouse game of Billy the Kid’s final year of life plays out. Ultimately Rio is forced to choose which type of man he is going to become, the outlaw or the man of valor, and will use this self-realization in a final act to save his family.

    It was a good movie. Although I’m glad I waited until it was available for free with prime video...I thought the movie was a full on bio-pic of Billy the Kid, and I was hype. Turns out, Billy the Kid is the secondary, maybe even tertiary, character in this movie. Definitely could have been better if it was a straight bio-pic of Billy the Kid, but overall, decent movie.
  • It really was that bad...

    Just a fair warning. The story is horribly chopped up and you watch all the best parts in the trailer.
  • pure garbage

    Acting was bad. Story line was boring and predictable. Save your money. Not missing out on anything here. Very disappointed.
  • Gorgeous and a decent version of the myth

    D'Onofrio has made a stunningly beautiful and solid western retelling of Billy the Kid. While the story is familiar, the angle, as seen through the eyes of a boy, is a refershing take, and the actors all show up with a purpose. It's a shame the media don't know a decent western when they see one, but no real surprise these days. Give it a try if you're a fan of the genre.

    It was okay but not as good as I hoped. I would recommend watching when it’s free on tv

    Not much character development. I almost turned it off after 45m. Watch it if your extremely bored.
  • Alright, Ok, but ack

    It was mildly entertaining if that. This film is evidence that Hollywood is dead. I would rather watch Tombstone from 1993 than this movie.
  • Not bad at all.

    The movie is watchable. Good acting. Historically not very accurate but still I did enjoy it.
  • One of the Best Westerns I’ve Seen

    Ethan Hawke deserves an Oscar & a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Pat Garrett. Vincent D’Onofrio deserves an Oscar & Golden Globe for directing this terrific western. I hope to see more westerns from D’Onofrio & Hawke. Ethan Hawke is the modern day version of John Wayne in my opinion. I’m not saying they act the same ways or resemble each other, but that in the 50’s, 60’s & 70’s the man for the lead role in a Western was John Wayne, today the best person for a lead role in a western is hands down, Ethan Hawke.
