Review of Wild Bill (1995) by Bill S — 08 Mar 2015
Good western.
Follows the life of legendary gunslinger and lawman "Wild Bill" Hickok. Gritty and dark, it explores his motivations, relationships, regrets and inner turmoils. Good character development.
On the down side, it does try too hard to contemporise the language and customs in some respects, and loses some focus towards the end.
Great performance by Jeff Bridges, but that's a given.
Good support from Ellen Barkin and John Hurt. Minor cast includes David Arquette, Christina Applegate, Diane Lane, Keith Carradine and Bruce Dern.
