Outlaw Kid Blue (Dennis Hopper) decides to give up robbing trains and go straight. Moving to the small town of Dime Box, Texas, under the name of Bickford Warner, he takes any honest work he can find. With the help of a preacher (Peter Boyle) and Reese Ford (Warren Oates), a friend he makes at the local factory, it seems that Bickford may finally be turning his life around. But for Bickford, hard work just may be too hard, especially when there are plenty of trains to rob.

Best yet of the current genre of off-beat Westerns, this whimsical examination of technology and conformity in Dime Box, Texas, 1902, showcases some of the finest acting and writing you’ll see this year. Go to Full Review
J. Hoberman Village Voice Aug 15, 2006
Kid Blue has a meandering jug band sensibility and a premise hilariously relevant to Hopper's situation. Go to Full Review

Kid Blue is a well-meaning, liberal, anti-fascist Western, dressed up with some good performances by Peter Boyle, Lee Purcell and Janice Rule. But it's not a very good movie. Go to Full Review
John Hofsess Maclean's Magazine Jun 15, 2022
