Wild Bill (1995)
7/10
Stylistic Western With a Weak Screenplay
8 December 2004
The life and death of the legendary Wild Bill Hickok is presented by Walter Hill in a stylistic western. The direction is great, the cast is excellent, the art and photography are wonderful, showing the important parts of Wild Bill's life in flashbacks in black & white and inclined camera. However, the performance of Jeff Bridges is horrible, using grimace to represent a nasty gunfighter, opium, card and whiskey addicted in a weak screenplay. The story is not pleasant and is impossible to feel any sympathy for the character Wild Bill Hickok. Diane Lane and Ellen Barkin are beautiful as usual. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): 'Wild Bill – A Lenda do Oeste' ('Wild Bill – The Legend of the West')
