Sam Peckinpah's tribute to the final days of the old west. He puts forth a stark vision of the last days of Billy The Kid . Peckinpah's bloody reputation is somewhat not so present in this although lots of people get shot. James Cogburn as Pat Garrett, the former outlaw turned lawman is perfect as the hero?/ villain? of the story. Kris Kristofferson is dashing as the Billy The Kid. As the new world encroaches on the west both characters have chosen opposite ends of the spectrum. This is at the heart of the movie. A classic of the western genre.
