Review of Wild Bill (1995) by Vincent O — 26 Sep 2010
After 'The Long Riders' and 'Geronimo', Walter Hill tried to replicate the success by tackling the true story of James Butler Hickock, better known as 'Wild' Bill Hickock. In parts this is a very commendable effort and Jeff Bridges plays the part really well indeed.
Nice to see the great Bruce Dern, pop up in another Hill movie (also seen in 'Last Man Standing') and plays in the best scene as a crippled gunman out for revenge. Hill was the assistant director on 'The Wild Bunch' and know one understands western folklore, or how to film it as he.
The supporting cast also includes John Hurt and a young David Arquette.
