About this movie

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 he 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.

Don't watch this expecting a version of 'Young guns'. I suppose that was my mistake. As a kid myself, I idolized Emilio as the one and only 'Billy the kid'. Being 10 years old, watching Bon Jovi's 'Blaze of Glory' video on MTV.. my ears perked up and my eyes as big as oranges. Still one of my all time favorite movies. That being said, this movie is worth the watch. Ethan Hawke rarely disappoints and Chris Pratt was extraordinary. The entire cast was outstanding. Like I said, as long as you don't expect another 'young guns', you will not be disappointed.

I felt like the cast was great...the cinematography was there...it felt authentic...but, there was just a little something missing that gives you that happy feeling at the end of a good movie. Seemed like Billy the Kid's character could have been fleshed out more and the boy he was watching over could have been a little less whiny. The storyline should have been congealed better than it was before they started filming.

VERY BORING. Hard to follow. It is a real slow movie. The most action pack part is the last 15 minutes of the movie. Very disappointed. Don't waste your time or money. I thought it would be really good, being it had Chris Pratt and Ethan Hawke(both were in Magnificent Seven)in it. I love westerns, not this one. Sorry folks but it's not even worth the $1.75 Red Box rental. Bought my copy at Walmart for $12.96 on the Black Friday deal. Wished I had left it there.....
