Billy, They Don?t Want You to Be So Free: Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid

Date of Review:  Mar 9, 2006
The Bottom Line: Bloody Sam Peckinpah's final take on the western genre, the new Special Edition DVD just might make you a believer. Well worth your time.

It Feels Like Times Have Changed... Times Maybe, Not Me...

Date of Review:  Apr 28, 2008
The Bottom Line: Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid is an Eerie Yet Powerful Western from Sam Peckinpah led by the Fantastic Performances of James Coburn & Kris Kristofferson. (4.5 out of 5)
Review:
***Note: The Following is a Review of the 2005 Special Edition Version of Sam Peckinpah's Director's Cut of Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid***

Following the success of 1969's nihilistic yet chaotic western The Wild Bunch, Sam Peckinpah...

Sam Peckinpah's Eulogy for the West: PAT GARRETT & BILLY THE KID

Date of Review:  Nov 20, 2008
The Bottom Line: A phenomenal piece of art; while perhaps not perfectly developed, I have to give this one the highest marks nonetheless.  I enjoy this film emmensely.
Review: Having more or less revolutionized the western, and indeed action films in general, with 1969's The Wild Bunch, director Sam Peckinpah would tackle the genre several more times.  While his work was frequently marked by controversy, Peckinpah's Pat...

Not " Knocking on Heaven's door!"

Date of Review:  Jul 18, 2000
Review: Based on Pat Garrett's book, this movie is about the similarity between the director Sam Peckinpah, and the infamous young outlaw known as "Billy the Kid."

Again we have a transitional time in the west and in Sam's life. Unlike the...

It Feels Like Times Have Changed

Date of Review:  Jan 26, 2002
The Bottom Line: One of Peckinpah's greatest achievements; it is sad to think that his career was as short as it was
Review: The legend of Pat Garrett and his notorious outlaw friend-turned-enemy Billy The Kid was a story that "Bloody" Sam Peckinpah had wanted to film a long time. In fact, in his TV writing days in 1957, he had written a screenplay adaptation of Charles...

Date of Review:  Feb 10, 2005
Review: I loved this movie. The characters were not overly believable, the pace and plot were not particularly moving, but I love this movie. I only recently caught this flick and after only a few minutes I was drawn in. The score was perfect and the...
