Young Guns Reviews
Top CriticChristopher 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.

This is a very brown movie: leather, planks of wood, dirt, dust, horses, and the tenor of the performances.

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.

The film doesn't go far in reviving the Western film genre.

Fails to either humanize Billy the Kid or justify his lore.

They behave as if our adoration were their birthright.
Empire Magazine
Good idea to cast the brat pack in a Western but this was badly realised and altogether a bit flat.

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.
