Young Guns - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 stars

Another "take"on the legend of Billy the Kid.Lets just say the cast is this films real story plus its pretty violent.Released in 1988 and running 107 minutes,I took 1 and 1/2 star off because I don't believe a word of it.That said,Emilio Estevez ,outstanding as Billy with great support by Kiefer Sutherland ,Lou Diamond Phillips ,Charlie Sheen ,Dermot Mulroney and Casey Siemaszko as his riders.Add good"bad guy"Jack Palance and rare good guy Terence Stamp ,you have a hell of a  cast.The story is nothing new about corruption in the old west supported by hired guns and a silly military.But if you like action and gun barrel justice you should get a kick out of it.I did.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary is below.

A group of young gunmen, led by Billy the Kid, become deputies to avenge the murder of the rancher who became their benefactor. But when Billy takes their authority too far, they become the hunted.
