What critics compared Young Guns to
With a vibe that evokes “Young Guns” over “Seven Samurai,” this 2016 version is directed by gifted filmmaker Antoine Fuqua, a genre director fully capable of making tolerable completely derivative material.
Dermot Mulroney started his career in "Young Guns" with Kiefer Sutherland.
He's like the Dirty Steve in a Dogme 95 Young Guns.
As helmed by Kelly Asbury and Lorna Cook - who make their collective directorial debut and work from a script by John Fusco ("Thunderheart," "Young Guns") - the adventure story is rather simple and straightforward - all the better to play to the young target audience - and bears a striking resemblance to "Running Free."
Written by John Fusco ("Young Guns," "Thunderheart") and directed by the DreamWorks animation team of Kelly Asbury and Lorna Cook (veterans of "The Prince of Egypt," the studio's first feature cartoon), "Spirit" overcomes several problems -- like the fact that it glosses over an apparent massacre of the Lakota -- to become quite captivating, sincere, symbolic and respectful of nature and all the cultures it depicts (even the colonel has a good side).
Screenwriter John Fusco ("Young Guns") has fashioned a rousing story from a horse's point of view that promotes the values of its titular character's name.
