But, while everyone thinks he mistakenly got off the bus through town, this guy came with a purpose: to avenge the men who brutally murdered his hippie parents when he was a kid. The kind where teenagers fear to roam in horror movies because of all of the wackos kind of isolation. This is the story of a young mysterious man who one day arrives in this desolate town in the middle of nowhere.
Not because of the story, but the execution. I was a bit duped by many of the positive comments for this film, finding it instead to be quite laughable.

A decent revenge movie very much of its time that's worth a look. Yet it has enough strengths for the undemanding viewer, I mean if only for death by tennis ball this should be marked above average. The ending somewhat peters out, sadly not daring to go the whole mile for complete devine retributional closure, which marks this out as not being a must see revenge pic. It's quite refreshing in light of Ermey and Dye's barnstorming approach to one dimensional villainy. Kid is a person of few words, instead choosing to say more by brooding and using serio visual ticks, his intensity in the role rewarding. A revenge movie is easy to buy into if you can get on board with the protagonist/antagonist, and Howell manages to do this. Some of the dialogue is crass speak, the musical score in keeping with the decade this had just left behind, and away from Howell, Ermey and Dye (the latter two doing their rough and tough acts), the acting is cringe inducing, however, this is no dead loss. It has strong resemblance to a whole host of previous movies that operate along the same formula straight, only difference is is that's it's pitched more to a young adult audience.
The Kid is all about revenge, returning to his home town of his youth to enact retribution on those who murdered is mother and father. Thomas Howell had already showed himself to be flexible in his acting wiles, here he fronts up for some straight moody seriousness as The Kid of the title. Music is by Tim Truman and cinematography by Robert D. Thomas Howell, Sarah Trigger, Brian Austin Green, R. Kid is directed by John Mark Robinson and written by Leslie Bohem. EXCELLENT !! And the music is great too ! If you like revenge and cool dialogue, rent/buy this movie. Like the scene with the Sheriff getting his head blown away by 'accident'. The acting is bad, the plot is ok, but what really steals the show for me is the dialogue : pure genius (in a it's so bad it's good kinda way)! Especially when they talk about the book ' The Hobbit'.that scene has me roaring in laughter every time i see it, it's so unintentionnally funny !! There are so many pieces of dialogue and situations that sticks in your mind for you know not what reasons. I first saw this movie when i was 10, and since then it has become one of my cult favorites. There's romance, suspense and action which makes this quite a complete movie. He hunts down all the culprits and kills them. It's the story of this guy coming back to his hometown for revenge, after his parents were killed there under his own eyes a couple of decades ago. Ok, i know this is no Citizen Kane or Casablanca.
