Title: The Wild Bunch
Post by: gmax on February 08, 2007, 09:02

Few films manage to seem to be perfect. "The Wild Bunch" is one of those films. I can't think of any flaw to the film. It is simply a masterpiece and one of the greatest American films ever made. It's also one of the last truly great western ever made, and one of the films that signified the death of the genre. The acting is fantastic all around, "The Wild Bunch" was truly the first western of its kind. Showing head-on, ultra-gruesome violence, the movie pulls no punches. Focusing on a group of aging outlaws (William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, Robert Ryan, Edmond O'Brien) going in for one last showdown, the movie shows what the Old West really was. This film deserves a place on any list of classic westerns, right next to "Unforgiven "
