Young Guns [DVD]

New Mexico, 1878. A gang of young outlaws become deputized lawmen after their mentor is murdered by a corrupt cattle baron. What starts as justice quickly spirals into a blood-soaked range war, with Billy the Kid (Emilio Estevez) leading a crew of hotheaded gunslingers — including Doc Scurlock (Kiefer Sutherland) and Chavez (Lou Diamond Phillips) — who are better at shooting than thinking. Christopher Cain's revisionist Western leans into the myth-making, pairing explosive shootouts with a Bon Jovi soundtrack that screams 1988. It's part Brat Pack rebellion, part frontier revenge tale, with a cast of rising stars trading quips between bullet casings. The film takes liberties with history but nails the chaotic energy of young men drunk on violence and legend. Perfect for fans of stylish Westerns, 80s action nostalgia, or anyone who wants to see Kiefer Sutherland in a duster. IMDb: 6.8/10 | Rotten Tomatoes: 43% | Metacritic: 50/100 1 win & 2 nominations
