Young Guns
Six of the hottest stars
The year is 1878, Lincoln County, John Tunstall, a British ranch owner, hires six rebellious boys as "regulators" to protect his ranch against the ruthless Santa Fe Ring. When Tunstall is killed in an ambush, the Regulators, led by the wild-tempered Billy the Kid (Estevez), declare war on the Ring. As their vendetta turns into a bloody rampage, they are branded outlaws, becoming the objects of the largest manhunt in the western history.

THIS MOVIE IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE WESTERNS. ALL STAR CAST GREAT STORY BASED ON THE LEGEND OF BILLY THE KID AND THE MERCHANT WAR IN THE OLD WEST. IF YOU KNOW THE HISTORY OF BILLY THE KID YOU CAN REALLY ENJOY THIS MOVIE. THESE YOUNG MEN PICTURED ON THE DVD, WORKING FOR AN ENGLISH MAN AND THEY CALL THEMSELVES "THE REGULATORS". AFTER THIS KIND MAN WHO BELIEVED IN THESE BOYS IS MURDERED THE REGULATORS SWORN IN AS MARSHALLS TO BRING IN THE GANG WHO MURDERED HIM BUT BILLY GOES ON A KILLING SPREE MAKING THE HUNTERS THE HUNTED. GREAT MOVIE!!!Young Guns - Gimau7
I agree with Kooski. Having seen Young Guns II, I really enjoyed this one. Estevez, Sutherland, Philips (for whom I have a great admiration since LA BAMBA) and Sheen really show that 'younger and modern cowboys' are as good as the John Wayne, Yul Brynner, Charles Bronson, Lee Van Cleef etc... Action and suspense keep you interested in all the way from the beginning 'till the end...young guns - seb1
With a cast of six great actors (especially the three mentioned up above) you know you can't go wrong. Estevez was powerful and a dead ringer for Billy the Kid. He was fast, furious and he takes you on a wild ride from the moment he hits the screen (very beginning). His character didn't really sit still for a second and his sharp wit and devilish humor are masked well underneath his thirst for revenge and blood. I also believe that he had a need for power and this was entwined well with the other facets of the character. Phillps was truly incredible as the spiritual leader of the team, who had a serious bone to pick. I really saw true talent being performed in the scenes where he painted his face black and guides the others in a spiritual journey. He also especially eminates this talent at the end where he talks about the attack on his family. However, I think the finest performance of the pack goes to Casey Siemaszko's Charlie Bowdre. Almost an innocent, laid back character in the beginning, you see each of his layers peal away until you see an amazing sequence of emotions. Ranging from a good humored farm hand, to a lonely vigilante, to a newly wed to a soldier of justice and then finally in the end giving everything he has to obtain some justice. Amazing. It's a shame he's not more recognized in the eyes of Hollywood today. 8.5 out of 10.
