Young Guns [Blu-ray]

Delivery Time: 7 to 15 Working Days Format: DVD

Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Philips, Charlie Sheen. Six young outlaws shake up the town when their ranch-owner boss is murdered. Includes Billy the Kid documentary, trivia, commentary and more. 1988/color/102 min/R.
Part of what was touted as a late-1980s revival of Westerns (and you can see how long that lasted), this good-looking, empty-brained film was like a spurs-and-chaps version of a Joel Schumacher movie, filled with pretty faces, prettier imagery, and absolutely no new ideas. The idiotically grinning Emilio Estevez is cast as Billy the Kid, who slowly accumulates a gang of Brat Pack buddies (Lou Diamond Phillips, Kiefer Sutherland, Dermot Mulroney) and fashions them into a group of male models with six-guns. The action is confused and the script is trite, though Terence Stamp is intriguing as the old reprobate who helps the gang get its act together. Followed by an even worse sequel. --Marshall Fine
