Emilio Estevez plays Billy the Kid as a crazy adrenaline junkie using Tunstall death as a reason for action. He is only good for driving the action, not that magic that makes a good western. The film attempts to build some of that magic with the others, such as when Doc Scurlock saves the girl who is sold into slavery. However, it's Billy who makes everything happen, and he is a tornado that destroys everything in his path. Good westerns are about the people with action to sharpen the focus.
