Rating: 3.5/4 -- A good but disturbing psychological western, well directed by Penn and acted in a strangely fascinating style by Newman. Full Review

Rating: B+ -- Boasting a strong turn by Paul Newman as Billy the Kid, this disturbingly psychological, technically innovative deconstructive Western marks the impressive debut of Arthur Penn (Bonnie and Clyde), signaling the beginning of the New American Cinema. Full Review

Paul Newman portrays the cow-country Rebel Without a Cause, Billy the Kid, in a western which is crammed with slambang action. Its characters, however, remain shadowy to the end. Full Review

A close, inspired study of Ford and Nicholas Ray, and a decisive source of inspiration to Peckinpah, Malick, and Penn himself, who looked at it again and saw Bonnie and Clyde. Full Review

Penn's first film, it is in many ways a key stage in the development of the Western.
