It lacked more grit and was disappointed

eh

Misleading and storyline was bit dull.

Surprisingly good movie. Not what you would normally expect from a Billy The Kid story but I liked the angle they took. A slightly different look to the story.

3.5 stars

Hawke takes a fairly one-dimensional character and gives it an intelligent and shaded performance.

Pratt delightfully plays against type here as a fierce bully, and Hawke looks as though he were born to wear spurs and a badge.

There’s gunplay aplenty here, but nothing about “The Kid” sets it apart from the many Billy the Kid movies that have preceded it.
