With so many different iterations of the same exact story flooding the cinematic market every year via reboots and sequels, it’s nice when someone decides to look at a common narrative through a new lens. This is what director Vincent D’Onofrio and screenwriter Andrew Lanham hope to accomplish with The Kid—a glimpse at the oft-mythologized game played by former friends turned enemies Billy the Kid (Dane DeHaan) and Pat Garrett (Ethan Hawke) from the eyes of a fourteen-year-old boy (Jake Shur’s Rio) struggling to decide whether his destiny leads towards infamy like the former or justice like the latter. On the run with his sister Sara (Leila George) after killing their abusive father, stumbling upon these two legends will ultimately dictate whether they’ll earn absolution.
Fate finds Rio and Sara waking up in what was an abandoned barn to see Billy and his band of criminals watching with guns in-hand.
