: Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid
Director: Sam Peckinpaw
An old western about former friends where one is now the sherrif and must hunt down the other. Has some dramatic moments and characteristic Peckinpaw violence (I’m not a fan of the ultra-red blood which looks too fake and takes me out of the scene), but the story meanders too much, the inevitable conclusion takes too long to arrive, and in the end I just wasn’t that moved by the “friendship” of the two gun slingers.
