Rotten
Christopher Cain directed this western from a script by John Fusco, and on the whole seems much more comfortable with the scroungy and scatological dialogue than he does with the action sequences.

Young Guns is best watched in the playful, none-too-serious spirit in which it was made.
Janet Maslin, New York Times

They behave as if our adoration were their birthright.
Hal Hinson, Washington Post
Fresh
Little more than a flawed romp, but energetic and enjoyable, with sterling performances from Sutherland and Estevez.
