Chapman and Maclain Way’s energetic telling of one of baseball’s great, unheralded stories is as much about independent spirit as it is about the game. When Portland, Oregon, lost its longtime minor-league affiliate, Bing Russell—who briefly played ball professionally before enjoying a successful Hollywood acting career—bought the territory and formed a single-A team to operate outside the confines of major-league baseball. When they took the field in 1973, the Mavericks—the only independent team in America—started with two strikes against them. What did Deputy Clem from Bonanza know about baseball? Or Portland, for that matter? The only thing uniting his players, recruited at open tryouts, was that no other team wanted them. Skeptics agreed that it could never work.
But Bing understood a ballplayer’s dreams, and he understood an audience. His quirky, unkempt castoffs won games, and they won fans, shattering minor-league attendance records. Their spirit was contagious, and during their short reign, the Mavericks—a restaurant owner turned manager, left-handed catcher, and blackballed pitcher among them—brought independence back to baseball and embodied what it was all about: the love of the game.

波和麦金尼在门廊，加勒特闯进屋子，开了两枪...
色彩动人，细节精致。即使不交代老亨利的身份也很好看。
西部爽片，节奏把握不错，渐入佳境很吸引人。
看这种作品也是体会中美文化差异的一种体验。
示范西部宝刀未老。他们不是埋头苦干，只是不想出手，别抬头，你会没事的。
2022年还有西部片 赞 不过距离经典的西部片差了点 比利小子真是西部片的图腾啊…
只有属于西部的粗粝与狂野。
节奏太喜欢了 特别棒的沉默寡言的柔情故事男的西部Home Defense的故事
一般传闻他21岁时在新墨西哥Summer Fort被Garret警探射杀，这个片中Curry也讲到了。
依旧保持西部片的精神内核，只是结局隐喻着西部片没落的现实，而这种现实大概起于三十年之前。
正宗老式西部片的调子，传奇人物比利小子演义后传，犹如《水浒传》之阮小七被演绎成《打渔杀家》之萧恩。
四星，平静的杀人，平静的死，像极了多数人的一生。
威震江湖激流勇退 恶匪临门重现神威 两位黄金配角奉献返璞归真西部片
和《小人物》相比 套路一样 但老亨利火力差得比较多 观感体验也差了点
好久没见的这么标准的西部片，而且还排出了武侠片片的感觉
十分硬核和老派的西部电影，全程一直担心儿子会死，没想到最后是比利小子死了。。。
他失去了挚爱的女人
最近老西部片颇有卷土重来之势，“比利小子”晚年传都来了。柔焦暖色调略不讨喜，精华都在最后半小时，3.5星。
还可以，比利小子被放走的设定真是让西部片爱好者眼睛发亮
有关游侠（也有说是暴徒的）比利小子传奇故事的再续写，剧情简洁紧凑，迟到的悲剧宿命终就上演。本片还原“古法酿造”，将正统西部片再一次忠实呈现，荒凉孤寂，爱与热血以及死亡，以及成长，以及躲不掉的债，皆如牛仔梦回。
