“The Kid” (** out of four) was a lumpy Western which is one more take on Sherriff Pat Garrett (Ethan Hawke) and how he took Billy The Kid (Dane DeHaan) into custody and eventually had to kill him which sent ripple effects throughout the West. Handsomely shot and featuring a stirring music score like most Westerns but film sputters after a while and never fully regains its momentum until the climax. Several other actors (Chris Pratt, Vincent D’Onofrio who also directed, and Adam Baldwin) are surprisingly wasted and given little to do. Hawke is a standout in an unusually strong and forceful performance.
