Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

The kids in my neighborhood are still engaged in the same argument that I fought, summer after summer, when I was their age:"You're dead!""No I'm not! You're dead!"But I shot you first . . . ...read the complete Wild Bunch movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)

This is Sam Peckinpah's masterpiece. The ultimate in violent Westerns, filled with clichés and violence drawn to extremes. In Peckinpah's rugged masculine world, brutality (adulthod) and innocence (children) co-exist. ...read the complete Wild Bunch movie review at Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)

ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Violence comes in many shapes, sizes, and forms. Twenty-six years ago, when Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch was first released, it caused a stir because of its gritty, uncompromising style. The deaths in this film are neither sterile nor heroic. ...read the complete Wild Bunch movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

You think movies like Natural Born Killers or Pulp Fiction glorify violence? They pale in comparison to Sam Peckinpah's modern Western, The Wild Bunch. The difference between The Wild Bunch and later movies is that the killings are committed in a more...read the complete Wild Bunch, The (1969) review at Movie ram-blings (Ram Samudrala)

Not that you have to be a man to enjoy Bunch, but I suppose it helps. It's a film that sticks to the rugged side of life, provides heaps of violence and spends little time depicting characters in reflection or displaying obvious emotion. That's not...read the complete Wild Bunch, The (1969) review at DVD MovieGuide
