Best of enemies. Deadliest of friends.

Western

Pat Garrett is hired as a lawman on behalf of a group of wealthy New Mexico cattle barons to bring down his old friend Billy the Kid.

VIBE

This is a dusty, elegiac Western that feels like the end of something. It's a weary, character-driven tale of old friends on opposite sides of the law, steeped in grit and a profound sense of melancholy.
