**_Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett seen through the eyes of an adolescent runaway_**
Fugitive teen siblings (Jake Schur and Leila George) hook up with Billy the Kid (Dane DeHaan) and his gang as he’s on the run from Pat Garrett (Ethan Hawke) in New Mexico, 1881. Chris Pratt has a side part as the dubious uncle of the teens.
“The Kid” (2019) was helmed by Vincent D'Onofrio (whom you might remember as the mentally troubled recruit at boot camp in “Full Metal Jacket”). It comes in the tradition of “One-Eyed Jacks,” which was originally a Billy the Kid yarn by Sam Peckinpah (with Stanley Kubrick set to direct) until Brando took over the project and changed the story. Peckinpah eventually got his script made into a movie a dozen years later, “Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid.”
This isn’t quite as notable as “One-Eyed Jack,” but it’s superior to Peckinpah’s lyrical film. The main characters are all effectively fleshed out and there’s a good scene where Garrett succinctly explains the Lincoln County War to the boy.
It ranks with the better Billy the Kid tales, although I prefer “Young Guns,” and “Old Henry.” It’s at least on par with “Young Guns II.”
It runs 1 hour, 40 minutes, and was shot at movie ranches in the Sante Fe area of north-central New Mexico.
