Review of Young Guns (1988) by Andrew B — 25 Nov 2007
Despite the obvious pop-culture and teen star power on display in "Young Guns", there is something of a real western inside. It's like what the outlaws in better westerns would have been like just before they turned bad: cocky, bold, and stupid.
From there they set off a chain of events that brands them as villains, starting with the murder of their benefactor by a greedy land baron, and the revenge that is sure to follow. At heart this is a true western, but things built around that heart make the film seem more artificial.
