The Kid

this shows Billy the kid as a young man with a girl friend who was pregnant with his child but he never gotto see his child as he was shot and killed

Way too slow... it seemed the movie lasted for ages. But in it's defence there were some excellent shoot'em up scenes with those humugus Walker Colt pistols 🔫 😊

fast delivery, arrived in good condition and overall, a good purchase.

The Kid (2019)Vincent D’Onofrio’s directorial debut doesn’t disappoint. The film follows a brother and sister (Jake Schur & Leila George) whilst on the run from their Uncle (Chris Pratt) the witness Billy The Kid’s (Dane Dehaan) encounter with Pat Garrett (Ethan Hawke). The acting here from everyone is excellent. There is some heavy and dark material here at times, especially Schur’s character and it’s crazy to think that this is his first ever on screen performance. Dehaan steals every scene he’s in as Billy The Kid, his cocky banter and intimidating persona are a blast to watch, Hawke is as cool as ever he’s done this many times before and still delivers and lastly was good to see Chris Pratt in a villain role, and he is very menacing and threatening here and gives a top performance. The characters are all interesting and the story moves a long at a good pace, the locations are lit well and the cinematography is impressive. There are also some brutal and bloody gunfights which were intense and the sound and practical effects were put to good use. I also liked the theme score. The film has a run time of 1hr 40 mins, it does drag around the middle section a bit and the pacing and editing could’ve been a bit better, due to some overlong takes and cuts at times, this also is the case with some of the dialogue and tone at points, and it obviously follows a lot of the familiar Western trappings which you would've seen before. However this a very underrated and very good movie that has some brilliant performances and I'm looking forward to see what D'Onofrio brings to the table in the future with his directing career.

Great movie

I was drawn to this film for a number of reasons. First, it was a return of film-making to a famous genre that has beenvictim of changing times and tastes but always merited a come-back in capable hands. In this case, the hands belongto respected actor Vincent D'Onofrio turned director who clearly has a regard for the genre and it shows. An intriguing story about a young lad and his sister (played the director's own daughter) on the run after killing of their brutal father as he murdered their mother - pursued by the latter's equally vengeful vicious brother. They takeshelter only to find it's a hideput used by outlaw Billy the Kid (real name William Bonney) and his gang. The arrivalof Sheriff Pat Garrett and his posse in pursuit see a shoot-out with Billy and his gang captured and the two scaredyoungsters having to adapt to awkward circumstances while they try to make their way to safety. The acting by all isfine, the production values and photography excellent and the overall result worth adding to any Western fan'sDVD collection. A pleasant surprise - well done all concerned, but especially Mr D'Onofrio and his producers formaking a film that returns the viewer to the enjoyment of good versus evil - and righteous retribution (not too fashionable nowadays!) in a tale that manages to mix fact and fiction in a neglected but dependable genre.

A completely new twist on the plethora of Billy the kid movies Young Jake Schur did a fantastic job in his first movie hope he makes many more. The action is good and i love Ethan Hawke , he never disappoints .

Arrived on time and my dad loves it.

i did not like this dvd, i thought it was slow and dull .
