Editorial Reviews: Product Description Bluray Disc Amazon.com essential video One of the best action movies ever made, in a cleaned-up print restoring crucial parts of the story. No cavalry ever rode in with more epochal impact than the Wild Bunch in the legendary opening scene. Their steel-eyed leader, Pike (William Holden), and his robbers in stolen army uniforms help an old lady across the street, and then spark a massacre led by Pike's old crony Thornton (Robert Ryan), sprung from jail to hunt down his old gang. In just a few minutes, Sam Peckinpah sets the scene--a dusty Texas town in 1913--sketches a dozen vividly individualized characters, and choreographs one of the most realistic, influential, brilliantly photographed shootouts under the pitiless sun. The cast is superb (even Ernest Borgnine!), the dialog crackling, the bitterly ambiguous moral of the story hard-earned. It's the deeper, dark flip side to 1969's Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Consider buying the letterbox Wild Bunch, the review collection Doing It Right, and the Peckinpah bio "If They Move... Kill 'Em!" --Tim Appelo Amazon.com One of the best action movies ever made, in a cleaned-up print restoring crucial parts of the story.

The Wild Bunch lacks the subtlety and humor found in Butch and Sundance. Every character, whether Anglo, Mexican or Indian is a stereotype. There is plenty of action, but not a single character one can identify with. Peckinpah made a better western in 1973: Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, with a score by Bob Dylan, who also appears in the film. The acting by Kris Kristofferson and James Coburn in Pat Garrett is superior to that of William Holden and Ernest Borgnine in The Wild Bunch, and the pacing of Pat Garrett is much better. The Wild Bunch, with a cast of thousands and nonstop violence, is just too long at 145 minutes with no breaks in the endless killing. The wild Bunch November 21, 2009 John T Kerr William Holden's presence on screen is viewing pleasure,Wild Bunch a great film.Holden holds his own on the Wild bunch.On blu ray still good entertainment and a new experiance on our large screen T.V. BD vs The Director's Cut November 10, 2009 Thomas Martin (USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful The reviewer comparing the BD vs the standard DVD releases missed one important point, I think. The director's cut of this film is 145 whereas the BD version is only 134. Ten minutes doesn't seem like much, but it does matter in this film. Every one in this film is killed October 14, 2009 connie 0 out of 10 found this review helpful This film is strictly for men...or anyone who likes violence at its goriest. I was not pleased with it at all and gave it away to a friend. Sorry !. Western salvaje y crepuscular en Blu... September 19, 2009 Roberto I. Quesada (Costa Rica) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful Se puede observar la calidad de esta transferencia tanto en 720p como 1080p. No me ha decepcionado para nada, al contrario, a pesar de ser un film que tiene sus años me sorprendió ver algunas secuencias tan llenas de color y tan bien amalgamadas. Para aquellos que quieran conocer de que va el montaje (montage) ver este film. The Wild Bunch es el "anti-western" por antonomasia, el western màs violento que jamás haya existido, aparte de "El Topo" de Alejandro Jodorowsky (palabras mayores). Excelente Blu-Ray que recomiendo a ojos cerrados. * Una de las cosas de las que WB se debería preocupar es en los booklets de sus BDs, prácticamente vienen sin nada, solamente el disco. Que bueno sería ver algún contenido interesante como bien lo hace Criterion Collection. Showing reviews 1-5 of 233 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...47 Next »
