Young Guns [Blu-ray] - Classic Western Action Movie - Perfect for Movie Nights & Western Film Collections

Product Description In a lawless and violent time, six young outcasts are hired by an English merchant as “regulators” to guard his ranch against the mob, a corrupt and powerful ring. When their employer is killed in an ambush and the law is powerless to punish the killers, the Regulators declare war on the Ring. In the course of their vendetta, they become the object of the biggest manhunt in the history of the West. As their fame grows, so will the legend of their leader, a young gunman whom the newspapers are already starting to call Billy the Kid. Amazon.com Part of what was touted as a late-1980s revival of Westerns (and you can see how long that lasted), this good-looking, empty-brained film was like a spurs-and-chaps version of a Joel Schumacher movie, filled with pretty faces, prettier imagery, and absolutely no new ideas. The idiotically grinning Emilio Estevez is cast as Billy the Kid, who slowly accumulates a gang of Brat Pack buddies (Lou Diamond Phillips, Kiefer Sutherland, Dermot Mulroney) and fashions them into a group of male models with six-guns. The action is confused and the script is trite, though Terence Stamp is intriguing as the old reprobate who helps the gang get its act together. Followed by an even worse sequel. --Marshall Fine
