Wuchak RELEASED TO VIDEO IN 2013 and directed by Christopher Forbes, "Billy the Kid" covers events when a bounty hunter (Cody McCarver) rides into the Southwestern town of Dogma intent on taking down a gang of outlaws called "The Four of the Apocalypse." Meanwhile, he meets a woman he knew years before (Kimberly Campbell) and her son, Billy (Christopher Bowman). Jerry Chesser emerges as the formidable main heavy.This movie only cost $500,000 so you have to be able to stomach micro-budget independent flicks and the limitations thereof in order to appreciate any attributes. I like watching spare-change films now and then and sorta root for them like you would a severely underdog team in sports. While there are some highlights in this film, like the soundtrack/score, some picturesque scenes and a few of the main cast members (noted above), the script needed more work because the story bogs down after the opening act. For instance, there's a lousy side plot about a goofy red-haired outlaw camping out in the town jailhouse and having a shootout with two old men. Most of the peripheral cast members aren't very good and the action scenes are okay at best, but neither would've been much of a hindrance if the story was strong and compelling. In short, without an engaging story everything else is worthless. Don't get me wrong, the plot had potential, but the script needed a lot more work. Interestingly, while the events are supposed to take place in New Mexico, the movie was shot mainly in South Carolina with a couple sequences done in Georgia and Kentucky. How could the creators possibly pull this off and make it look like the story takes place in the Southwest? Answer: They utilized several establishing shots from Lincoln County, New Mexico (with some featuring the loner protagonist). But everything else, like the lame "town" set, was shot in the East. THE FILM RUNS 1 hours & 20 minutes. WRITER: Graye Bumgardner. GRADE: D

lady bell who is the father of billy the kid? The question popped into my mind while watching the film. I conveyed my interest into an internet search and turned up nothing. it seems that the writer provided his own story about the father of the kid which is quite unique in it's own regard. story isn't much about the kid but instead focuses on his mother and fathers relationship. I recommend solely on the basis of a story that doesn't beat the horse dead like the other movies about billy. I bought the movie off the net for $10 and wish the special features would had been longer. The next one will probably feature the kid as the main role.

John Burroughs One biggie of the film for people must be Billy The Kid. He's older looking than the usual and he's not the main character. This billy the kid, based on facts and fiction, draws from his years living with his mother, never knowing who his father was.I enjoyed the film for it's many perks. I do not get to see many westerns on tele or movies being away from the states, so it's nice to see them still being produced, even if it's independently. This Cody Mcarver is new to me and I applaud his tunes for the movie, although I do not like country music it fits into the movie very well. I do see that this movie has a possibility of a second and I would suggest that it involves more of the kid and his days in Lincoln. thank you.

thewesternfromtheeast A glass bullet and how it comes to be the center of the film Billy The Kid and the life he lived before becoming an outlaw A gang called four horsemen of the apocalypse stroll the lands and burns New Mexico territory while trying to loot places A Marshall too chicken and a town that's scared of their own shadow.A B+ western and I would recommend this to all lovers of independent westerns.A C+ movie and I wouldn't recommend this as a movie night for a young crowd of folk but people my age 40+ will enjoy the homages to the western genre and a tale of the Kid that's sure to lead to a second movie.
