Reviews for Young Guns
Good idea to cast the brat pack in a Western but this was badly realised and altogether a bit flat.
02/04/08
Christopher Cain directed this western from a script by John Fusco, and on the whole seems much more comfortable with the scroungy and scatological dialogue than he does with the action sequences.

Top Critic Young Guns is simply not a very good movie--western or otherwise. Fusco's script provides little character development and muddies the narrative with some unlikely supporting characters.

Little more than a flawed romp, but energetic and enjoyable, with sterling performances from Sutherland and Estevez.

Young Guns is best watched in the playful, none-too-serious spirit in which it was made.

Top Critic There are side pleasures to be found in going back and reliving the bad parts of the ‘80s. A rental of Young Guns lets us know that at least we’re out of Reaganomics and the movies it spawned.
