Young Guns (Special Edition) Reviews
"...you gotta be handy with the steel, if you know what I mean. Earn your keep!"
Young Guns is a good 80's western directed by Christopher Cain (The Next Karate Kid), and starring brat packers Emilio Estevez (The Breakfast Club), Keifer Sutherland (The Lost Boys), Dermot Mulroney (About Schmidt), Lou Diamond Phillips (La Bamba), Casey Siemaszko (Stand By Me), and Charlie Sheen (Wall Street). The movie also stars Hollywood veterans Terence Stamp (Superman II), and the late Oscar winning actor Jack Palance (City Slickers).
Guns follows the trails of the legendary William H. Bonney, also known as Billy The Kid, played by Estevez in his most memorable film role. Bonney is a delinquent who's picked up off the street by rancher John Tunstall, played by Stamp, and disciplined into becoming an educated citizen along with other boys that call themselves the regulators: Doc Scurlock, played by Sutherland, Chavez, played by Phillips, Dick Brewer, played by Sheen, Dirty Steve, played by Mulroney, and Charley, played by Siemaszko. Tunstall is brutally murdered by a group of men belonging to rival Murphy, played by Palance. The boys can't get fair justice through the law because Murphy has connections with the sherrif's office, so they're made deputies and go out to arrest the killers of their master. Bonney, however, decides to take both the law and vengeance in his own hands and leads the pack into a killing spree of revenge. The boys give up their badges and become outlaws.
Young Guns features an excellent cast of, then, Hollywood's freshest new talents; over time, of course, neither actor held his own except Sutherland, who's had a successful career as the star of TV drama 24, and Sheen, who appears in slapstick comedies to make a living (e.g. Hot Shots, Scary Movie 3), while the script is made especially to attract younger audiences to watch a modern western, something Clint Eastwood would revive only 4 years later with his Academy Award winning picture Unforgiven.
Many people disregard Young Guns as a bad western with young actors who'd better off becoming models. But Young Guns successfully carries the plot, silly it may be or not, and delivers good action sequences and quirky dialogue, especially Emilio Estevez's silly laugh, better than other western films.
