Our TV movie pick for tonight (Thursday, 2 October) is The Kid, the star-studded 2019 Western directed by Vincent D'Onofrio (Daredevil).
Set in the 19th century in the Old West, the film follows a young boy named Rio (Jake Schur) and his teenage sister, Sara (Leila George, Disclaimer), who go on the run across the American Southwest to escape from their violent uncle (an unrecognisable Chris Pratt, Jurassic World).
"Along the way, Rio encounters the infamous outlaw Billy the Kid (Dane DeHaan, American Primeval) and the legendary lawman Pat Garrett (Ethan Hawke, Training Day)," the plot synopsis adds.
"He soon finds himself caught in the crossfire as Billy and Garrett square off in a deadly game of cat and mouse."
The Kid also co-stars D'Onofrio, as well as his Full Metal Jacket castmate Adam Baldwin.
The movie did not get a cinema release in Ireland and the UK and earned mixed reviews from critics.
That said, some praised the film for its performances, cinematography, and its new take on the Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett story.
The Kid is airing on TV tonight on the channel Legend at 11.30pm. The Western is also currently streaming on Netflix.
