I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I first learned about this movie through its trailer on another VHS where its known as Back For Revenge which in my eyes is a better name for this movie. I really enjoyed this film and it made me a fan of C Thomas Howell. It was also interesting to see a young Brian Austin Green in a supporting role. If this movie was set in the wild west it still would be an awesome movie.I'll definitely recommend this film for anyone who enjoys revenge movies or C Thomas Howell.Not only did this film have great action it also had great drama added to the mix is an excellent cast with a terrific script and awesome directing.They don't make them like this anymore and probably never will.So watch this movie whenever you can.Thanks for reading this review.

Trouble walks into town, off a bus in this simple, sort of plain revenge, flick. Ponyboy Howell is in town to settle some old scores, well take out a score of men who killed his parents. Howell shot one, and ended up in jail for his troubles. Now out, he will finish the job, well some nasty obstacles come into play, one of them a corrupt sheriff (R La Ermey). He's befriended by a hot Sarah Trigger and her brother, (yes Trigger pash a little bit-well they do spend an intimate moment. But unbeknown to Howell, their father is one of the baddies. Trigger and bro never knew about their father's murderous and corrupt activities. We see some inventive ways of murder used, Howell, one smart puppy. The acting not really anything to write home about, good performances are random here, Howell probably one of the best. The better titled Kid is really just a paint by numbers, formula, revenge flick. If a revenge or C Thomas fan, this is your thing, but if it isn't you're probably better seeking out other pics.

Okay. I'm a C. Thomas Howell fan. Always have been. From his newer B movies (red team, Avalanche) to his old movies. (The Outsiders, Side Out) And this movie is by far the best of the bunch. It starts out with an eeriy feel to it as The Kid steps off the bus in the center of the desert like town. Its a great movie though some of the acting is bad (the brothers) its a movie that will always be on my shelf and will be in my vcr alot as well. 7/10

A neo-Western with the charismatic C. Thomas Howell surpassing his other notable performances as Ponyboy in The Outsiders and the lawyer/volleyball stud in Side Out. Kid will always have a spot on my video shelf as I caught it back in the day while I was still in the early years of High School and I loved it then and love it now. It even has David Silver as an outdated Metalhead who speaks in 80s cliches, and the gorgeous older sister who makes washing a horse look like the most appetizing chore this side of the Mississippi. Topping off the cast is the drill Sergeant from Full Metal Jacket and Dale Dye, both adding credibility to what could have been an otherwise cheap Cinemax snooze-fest. A lean, well-paced and sometimes laughable "flick" that could have benefited from a more intense climax, but works very well within its own means.
