 Three reasons to watch this film: post-apocalyptic future, western genre love, and Michael Shannon's outstanding performance.

 'Young Ones' may not be a great film, but if there are flaws, they should be sought elsewhere, perhaps in the fact that given its settings and genre, it cannot be defined as a film for everyone.

Though not a commercial success and criticized for its young cast, the review argues the film's flaws lie mostly in its niche appeal. Discover the blend of neo-western and post-apocalyptic drama in 'Young Ones'—watch Michael Shannon's gripping performance today!
