Wild Bill description Audiences overlooked this film, one of the better westerns in several years, featuring yet another terrific performance by Jeff Bridges, America's most underrated movie actor. As James Butler Hickock, he captures the sense of a man at the end of his career, one of the first media superstars who discovers that his legend is more burden than blessing. As he heads toward his final hand of poker in Deadwood, South Dakota, he flashes back to his younger days and the events that built his reputation, even as he copes with encroaching blindness caused by syphilis. Walter Hill blends action and elegy, utilizing a screenplay based both on Pete Dexter's novel Deadwood and on Thomas Babe's play Fathers and Sons. Wild Bill features strong supporting performances by John Hurt (as a Hickock sidekick) and Ellen Barkin (as the tough, lusty Calamity Jane)--but the centerpiece is the sad, manly performance by Bridges, who more than measures up to the part. --Marshall Fine |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | HORRIBLE, JUNK! |
| THIS IS A VERY INACCURATE MOVIE. JEFF BRIDGES ACTING IS GOOD AND SO ARE THE COSTUMES. THE FIRST 20 MINUTES ARE GOOD. THEN, THE MOVIE DIVES TO THE BOTTOM OF THE TOILET. AT THE END OF THE MOVIE SOME PAID ASSASINS UPON ENTERING THE SALOON TO KILL WILD BILL, FIND HIM ENGAGING IN AN ACT OF PROCREATION ON A CARD TABLE. INSTEAD OF KILLING THE FAMOUS GUNSLINGER, THEY DECIDE TO PLAY CARDS WITH HIM. THIS MAY BE THE WORST WESTERN I HAVE EVER WATCHED. INSTEAD, WATCH PALE RIDER, TOMBSTONE, THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES, FIST FULL OF DOLLARS, A FEW DOLLARS MORE, HANG EM HIGH, HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER, BOTH VERSIONS OF THE UNFORGIVEN, THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLY, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST, ULZANNA'S RAID, THE SHOOTIST, 3:10 TO YUMA, JEREMIAH JOHNSON, BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID, A MAN CALLED HORSE, THE SONS OF KATIE ELDER, THE COWBOYS, CHISUM, ROOSTER COGBURN, MAVERICK WITH MEL GIBSON, WATCH ANYTHING BUT WILD BILL, THE WORST WESTERN EVER MADE. | |
