Young Guns II: Review

starstarstarstar
Besides featuring some of the same actors in the same roles, what this six-gun sequel has in common with YOUNG GUNS is that it is wholly unmemorable. YOUNG GUNS II is an equally cynical recasting of the Billy the Kid legend as a showcase for an array of teen idols. Under the direction of New Zealander Geoff Murphy (UTU), the movie seems engineered so as never to let more than three minutes pass between long, noisy gunfights. Even Pat Garrett's shooting of Billy (Emilio Estevez), the closest the film comes to a dramatic climax, is thoroughly muddled. If you blink you'll miss it, and even if you don't, you'll still feel like you missed it. Though William L. Petersen makes an effort to give Garrett some depth, he receives scant support from John Fusco's disjointed script. The film earned an Oscar nomination for the forgettable song "Blaze of Glory" (Jon Bon Jovi). leave a comment
