September 21, 2009Now, it's easy to get me to watch a number of movies. Name the right actor, and I'll be less than concerned with what exactly the movie contains. Many, many actors fall into this group, but one of the easiest is either of the Sutherlands. I've been a fan of Kiefer for longer than...( read more)

July 18, 2009Brilliant 80's shoot em up based on the story of Billy the Kid (very loosely). the cast is the classic 'bratpack' line up and actually suits the flick perfectly. The action is tight and exciting and you do feel for the anti heroes, wanting them to survive. It looks good, the soun...( read more)

January 2, 2009Not a huge fan of Westerns, but this is one of those I like. I like American Outlaws better, but this was still a good movie w/ a solid cast.

March 29, 2009I first saw these movies in 2002 and completely, hopleassly and deeply fell in love with these and the legend of Billy the Kid and the "character" himself. I've loved wild west since I was a kid but never much cared for western movies, so it took me a long long time till I bothered to watch even these and I'm so incredibly happy I finally did. This is a totally awesome, hilarious and wonderful true-story based vision of Lincoln County War. Anyone even remotely interested in wild west MUST see this! I think it's real life history and real life characters that this bases on that makes this so much superior to wetern movies, as this has an actual deeper story to tell.

April 15, 2007I love this movie more than all other movies in this world! But since I'm a lover of the REAL William Bonney, I must say they made two huge inaccuries. Billy the Kid was called a lefthander after the picture he took posing with his rifle, but in the movie they call him a lefthander before he takes the picture. And also the letter Billy wrote to the Governor in reality, was sent to Lewis Wallace, but in the movie it's sent to Axtell instead. There's a few more inaccuries, as I've seen, but the movie is awesome and nothing else matters! <333
