United Kingdom | Empire | "A cheesy, silly, smug movie (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)" | NEG |
United States | The New York Times | "Young Guns is best watched in the playful, none-too-serious spirit in which it was made. Though the film concentrates reverentially on its young stars, it also includes good performances from a few grown-ups" | POS |
United States | SFGATE | "With all its faults, it more or less works. Palance is a great heavy, Estevez makes an off-the-wall hero, and there's usually enough happening on screen to keep you interested." | NEU |
United States | Chicago Tribune | "One of the best big Westerns of the '80s" | POS |
