Vincent D’Onfrio‘s The Kid is a refreshingly old-fashioned western. It doesn’t shy away from archetypes or familiar iconography, but instead embraces the greatest hits of the genre. It’s a familiar yarn told well, and it stars Jake Schur, Ethan Hawke, Dane DeHaan, and Chris Pratt, who impresses as the big bad of the film without […]

The Kid, directed by Vincent D’Onofrio, is a finely formed and sturdy old-fashioned western that evokes classics within the genre such as Fred Zinnemann’s High Noon and Henry Hathaway’s True Grit. It’s not a masterpiece of the genre by any means, as it doesn’t transcend the generic material at hand. However, it’s a strong compelling rendition of the somewhat conventional revenge story we’re all accustomed towards, with an affirmative narrative that explores the ideal of loyalty, fate and ambiguity of law in an honest, almost cathartic exploration that propel this into something quite special.

Vincent D’Onofrio on directing his first Western, The Kid, plus whether he’d like to play Kingpin again if Daredevil ever returns.
Vincent D’Onofrio has been turning out superb acting work ever since the world saw him in his breakout role as Private Leonard “Gomer Pyle” Lawrence in Stanley Kubrick’s acidic 1987 Vietnam War classic, Full Metal Jacket. Since then, the Brooklyn-born, 59-year-old actor has made his mark in movies, TV and on the stage, including films like Mystic Pizza, The Break-Up, Ed Wood, Men in Black, The Magnificent Seven, Jurassic World and many more. But he may be best known to many for two career TV roles: as Detective Robert Goren on Law and Order: Criminal Intent, and more recent as Marvel Comics arch-villain Wilson Fisk, a.k.a. Kingpin on Netflix and Marvel TV’s Daredevil.
Now D’Onofrio is taking on a new role: as director.

Commemorating an era of revisionist-revisionist Westerns (we’re now further away in time from the deconstructed ones than the ones that deconstructed them were from the originals), “The Kid” simultaneously wants to humanize and mythologize its cowboys — and neither effort works.
Yet another story about Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, this time presented from the viewpoint of an impressionable teenager witnessing the final days of their cat-and-mouse camaraderie, Vincent D’Onofrio’s film is a maudlin, violent affair that wants us both to admire and to understand the two Old West luminaries, but all it really does is remind us that famous people should seldom if ever be seen as role models.
Jake Schur plays Rio Cutler, a 14-year-old who intervenes in a fight between his mother, Mirabel, and father, Pete, and accidentally shoots him to death. Pete’s brother Grant (Chris Pratt) shows up full of grief and fury,...

The extended dance of death played out by lawman Pat Garrett and outlaw Billy the Kid has inspired countless accounts of varying authenticity in literature, cinema and primetime TV, ranging from Sam Peckinpah’s violently elegiac 1973 Western (featuring a singularly hunky Kris Kristofferson as the desperado also known as William Bonney) to “The Tall Man,” a 1960-’62 NBC series which fancifully imagined Garrett (Barry Sullivan) and Billy (Clu Gulager) as frontier frenemies in Lincoln, N.M.
It’s to the considerable credit of actor-turned-director Vincent D’Onofrio and screenwriter Andrew Lanham that they’ve come up with a satisfyingly fresh take on this familiar mythos in “The Kid,” a consistently involving and often exciting drama in which the two Wild West icons are presented from the p.o.v. of an impressionable adolescent who weighs the pros and cons of each man as a role model.

There are generally two types of Westerns that a filmmaker can craft these days. One way to make them is to try and pay homage to the classics and attempt to capture that feel. It’s old fashioned, but it can often work. The other way is to try and re-invent the genre, turning it on its side. That’s far riskier, but the potential outcome can be revelatory. If you don’t take one of these patches, it’s hard to figure out what you’re trying to say with your film. Unfortunately, actor and director Vincent D’Onofrio falls into that trap with The Kid. He’s crafted a well made Western, but it has nothing to say. The result is, sadly, a disappointment. The movie is, of course, a Western, centered on the final days of the long brewing showdown between Sheriff Pat Garrett (Ethan Hawke) and...

We all love a man in a suit, but when it’s Chris Pratt it’s enough to make us weak at the knees. The actor pulled off the suave and sophisticated look with panache last night as he attended the premiere of his new movie The Kid. The dark Western sees him star alongside the likes of Ethan Hawke, Vincent D’Onofrio — who also directed the movie — and Adam Baldwin. It tells the story of a young boy called Rio, played by newcomer Jake Schur, as he gets the help of Billy the Kid (Dane DeHaan) and local sheriff Pat […]

A diverting Western that’s almost worth seeing for the unsaddled performances that director Vincent D’Onofrio gets from his cast, “The Kid” only makes a few small adjustments to the dustiest of American genres, but these errant wrinkles — a far cry from any serious revisionism — provide much of the fun. The film’s tepid pulse can be felt in the way that Sheriff Pat Garrett (Ethan Hawke) frantically warns the townsfolk that he’s about to start a gunfight with some cowboys. Or in the deference that young Billy the Kid (a dirty-faced Dane DeHaan) shows a lawman whom he truly does not want to kill. It’s a shame that D’Onofrio’s unremarkable oater tends to shoot pretty straight, because it spurs to life in the rare moments when it squints a bit and breaks with tradition. For a story about a tug-of-war between valor and rebellion,...

You all know Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin in the Daredevil Marvel series, but he’s also a director, and he directed a new western called The Kid, which is inspired by the legendary outlaw Billy The Kid.
Dane DeHaan (Chronicle) plays Billy the Kid in the film, and Ethan Hawke plays Sheriff Pat Garrett who is hunting him down. The film tells the story of a young boy who witnesses Billy the Kid's encounter with the Sheriff.
Jake Schur plays the boy, and the rest of the cast includes Chris Pratt, Leila George, Adam Baldwin, Keith Jardine, Tait Fletcher, Jenny Gabrielle, and D'Onofrio, who also takes on the role of another Sheriff. The movie actually looks really good and this is the synopsis:

In a surprise release of sorts, in just two weeks we’ll be getting a new Pat Garrett/Billy the Kid western that has some promising talent behind of and in front of the camera. Directed by Vincent D’Onofrio, The Kid stars Ethan Hawke, Chris Pratt, Dane DeHaan, Jake Schur, Leila George, and Adam Baldwin. Ahead of a March 8 release, the trailer has now arrived.
The film marks D’Onofrio’s first directorial effort since 2010’s Don’t Go in the Woods and the script is from Andrew Lanham. Seemingly skipping the festival circuit, there’s been no advance word on the film, but the trailer paints a fairly fun if formulaic entry into the genre with a cast that seems well-suited for the dusty, dangerous terrain.
Also starring Jake Schur, Leila George, and Adam Baldwin, see the trailer and poster below.

There's much to be excited about when it comes to the upcoming Western The Kid.
First and foremost there's Ethan Hawke as Sheriff Pat Garrett, the lawman credited with taking down Billy the Kid. Hawke, always a great addition to a movie, has been particularly good over the last few years. Then there's Dane DeHaan playing Billy the Kid. DeHaan has been a little more hit-and-miss of late but he certainly has the talent. Then there's the fact that this entire thing is directed by Vincent D'Onofrio (who also stars).

Ethan Hawke looks so good with two pistols in his hands it’s a wonder he hasn’t done more Westerns. From the cut of his jib in this new trailer for “The Kid,” if Hawke had been born earlier, he might have given Clint Eastwood a run for his money. Sporting a manicured mustache and a flat-brimmed black cowboy hat, Hawke plays a lawman with a philosopher streak in this spring release from Lionsgate, which also happens to star Chris Pratt as his scruffy nemesis and Dane DeHaan as a spirited Billy the Kid.
The official synopsis reads: “A young boy, Rio (Jake Schur), is forced to go on the run across the American Southwest in a desperate attempt to save his sister (Leila George) from his villainous uncle (Chris Pratt).

As “BlacKkKlansman” hit theaters this weekend, Emmy nominee Vincent D’Onofrio found himself in a position familiar to that film’s co-star, Topher Grace. In Spike Lee’s Cannes prizewinner, Grace portrays longtime white supremacist David Duke, who made headlines at last year’s “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. On Saturday, D’Onofrio asked his 180,000 Twitter followers for feedback on whether he should accept a role in an unannounced television show that would task him with playing an “irredeemable racist” based on a real person:
