Best of enemies. Deadliest of friends. They are fast friends and worse foes. One is Billy the Kid (Kris Kristofferson) a law unto himself. The other is the law: Sheriff Pat Garrett (James Coburn) who once rode with Billy. Set to a bristling score by Bob Dylan (who also plays Billy's sidekick Alias) and with a `Who's Who' of iconic Western players Sam Peckinpah's saga of one of the West's great legends is now restored to its intended glory. For the first time since it left
If Sam Peckinpah's 'The Wild Bunch' is the violent death of the western, then 'Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid' is picking over it's remains. Peckinpah is back with his legendary use of screen violence, although not as violent as 'the Wild Bunch', in this film however it could be said he goes one step further by showing live chickens being shot to bits as target practice for Billy and his gang. Legendary actors James Coburn and Kris Kristofferson both give excellent performances in this film about the end of one way of life and the path towards a decent future. The strong cast line up also sees Bob Dylan playing Billy's sidekick. One of the most emotional moments of the film is the death of Slim Pickings, dying at the side of a river bank with Bob Dylans song 'Knockin' on Heaven's door' as background music.
