Sin piedad

It's a MOVIE....not a documentary and, as such, not subject to accuracy but rather creative license. This was a very entertaining way to spend an hour and forty minutes. Dave DeHaan is incredibly convincing as Billy the Kid- and his portrayal of a conflicted, very young man might just be the most accurate part of the movie and it works. Again, if you're looking for accuracy, go to the History Channel. If you're looking for entertainment, you found your movie.

If your not a western lover don't see it or review it. As a western it has a very good story. The acting is top notch and the direction is also top notch. It's bloody at times but it fits the story perfectly. It was a lawless time afterall . If your tired of paying $11 dollars or so to see CGI SCENES, SEE THIS.

An interesting tale of the west, mixing fact and fiction to legend of the Garrett and Billy the Kid relationship, two kids witnessing their parent being beaten to death, the altercation cause further chaos and they flee for their lives, thru this tragedy this incident determines their fate once they meet the infamous Billy the Kid, and the kids take a journey to a future with uncertainty in the lawless west, the performances in this film are quite well done, Ethan Hawke as Garrett is excellent as the weary lawman, another good performance is Chris Pratt as the evil relative was quite good, the movie moved along nicely toward a very relentless and violent conclusion, this one I enjoyed.

Billy The Kid is once again our protagonist in another retelling of the tale. Only this time the story of a brother and sister orphaned on the New Mexico frontier have their situation cross with last days of Billy The Kid.

Ethan Hawke is Pat Garrett and Dane DeHaan is Billy who seems to have drawn a lot from what Emilio Estevez did in the Young Guns movies.

Brother and sister Jake Schur and Leila George are on the run after Schur shoots his abusive father who had just killed his mother. They are running from Chris Pratt who is his uncle who wants vengeance on his relations.

It's their fate for the two kids to find shelter in a place Billy The Kid uses as a hideout and he comes there with a posse close behind.

Afterward Pratt catches up with the kids and takes George prisoner. It's then up to young Schur to decide who can help, Pat Garrett or William Bonney,

This is a decent well done western. Hawke makes a properly heroic Garrett, but the recklessness of Billy draws Schur in. Actor Vincent D'Onofrio late of Law And Order Criminal Intent directs this with a brisk style and he has a small part as another sheriff.

I'm sure The Kid will not be the last the big screen sees of Pat and Billy.

This wasn't that bad. I mean, the preformances were really strong and I found the action pretty entertaining. Because the director took inspiration from Tarantino and Sergio Leone. Where this falls flat is the script. Itdoesn't make sense a lot of the times. Also in the beginning the pacing was really bad and slow. Overall, if you look at it in a technical way it's pretty bad but the way I look at it, I found it entertaining and fun. "The Kid" gets a B.
