Young Guns II

Buy This Item Young Guns II by Warner Home Video  Available from Amazon  $7.49  on 11-25-2008     This time around, the Brat Packers (Emilio Estevez, Christian Slater, Lou Diamond Phillips, Kiefer Sutherland) are on the run from the law and making a break for the border. Sutherland is yanked from his school-teaching job back East and extradited for trial, until he's liberated by the other members of the gang. There's a memorable scrap between Phillips and Slater, and a couple of pretty decent firefights, but all in all this is rather forgettable fare. It taps into the futility and camaraderie of classics like <I>The Wild Bunch</I> and <I>Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid</I>, but Sam Peckinpah or George Roy Hill it ain't. Jon Bon Jovi adds to the Rock-Stars-in-the-Old-West feel of this one, rife as it is with non-period dialogue and long, blowy hair. Still, fans of the original movie may find plenty to like in this sequel, even if it comes across as being a bit tired and turgid (notice there never was a <I>Young Guns III</I>). <I>--Jerry Renshaw</I> Reader Reviews Starting with the story in the first movie it sets a great stage for this sequel. I have always enjoyed the mystery of William H. Bonne. He certainly made a spot for himself in history. Action packed and lots of gun fights to increase your adrenaline. Loved it. Hope you do as well.
