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.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Young Guns is best watched in the playful, none-too-serious spirit in which it was made.
They behave as if our adoration were their birthright.
Little more than a flawed romp, but energetic and enjoyable, with sterling performances from Sutherland and Estevez.
