Wild Bill (1995) Movie Review 

Your 100% right about Walter Hill's track record during the 2000's his best films to me was during the late 70's and throughout the 80's with films like ''Extreme Prejudice'',''48 HRS,'''Streets of Fire'',''Red Heat'',''Southern Comfort'' and of course ''The Warriors'' yes even ''Brewster's Million'' with Richard Pryor&John Candy I don't mind as a time waster too I also don't mind ''Another 48 HRS'' also but this film along with ''Johnny Handsome,''''Trespass'''&'Crossroads'' I was never the biggest fan of the only film he did in the 2000's despite it's problems it behind the scenes during it's production ''Supernova'' I don't mind yes even that very underrated Bruce Willis flick which has grown on me over the years ''Last Man Standing''I would say that's Hill's best film from the 1990's IMHO. Great job on the review I also agree you about David in this film I do like him as actor also but he seroiusly out matched in this film with every actor oppisite him Matt. BTW I notice the story for this film sword of reminds me of the DMX film which David was also in called''Never Die Alone'' from 2004 which that's a film about a character who dies in the start of the film and pretty much the whole film we get flashbacks showing all his backstory all thanks to some cassette tapes he leaves behind where also in that involves a young men from his past who that character had did wrong to his mother and to him and ends up killing him but I put that film way above this film.

Funny enough Walter Hill directed the pilot of Deadwood and Keith Carradine played Wild Bill Hickok. That show took artistic liberties especially later on but its a more accurate portrayal of Hickok and McCall than this movie is from what I hear.

Funny you said he produced Aliens: the top of the guys hat on the poster looks the the Alien poster with the pod

The 90s were such a time for kinetic editing, for better or worse. Natural Born Killers, U-Turn, Snatch, Wild Bill, etc. Almost seemed like the answer to Tarantino’s storytelling style. Since there were too many Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction knockoffs, the next “new” thing was to do this quick editing style that made the viewer dizzy or annoyed or both.

Hey Matt i agree with you Abou this movie i love westerns i love jeff Bridges as actor but this movie is very forgettable is no history the cast is completely wasted i shaw it a few times is i dont like it i prefere 48 hours streets of fire extreme prejudice red heat and last man standing are better movies than this movie in mine opinion take care Matt

I Like Jeff Bridges he’s a Good Actor, very Talented, he’s just not 1 of my favorite actors but I Like him I Love The Vanishing 1993, Iron Man, R. I. P. D. , Hell or High Water, & Kingsman 2 Those are my Favorites Of his

I really Like Walter Hill he’s a Good Director, Not 1 of my favorite Directors But I Like him I Love 48 Hours Films, Alien 2 & 3, Red Heat, Johnny Handsome, Trespass 1992, Last Man Standing, Undisputed, & Bullet To The Head Those are my Favorites Of & Bests Of His IMO, I Like The Warriors, Long Riders, & Wild Bill are Ok IMO But definitely my Least Favorites Of his, I didn’t like The Assignment that’s a Bad Movie IMO, I Haven’t Seen His Other Films Though, I gotta Check out Southern Comfort, The Getaway 1994, Streets Of Fire, Brewster’s Millions, & Dead For A Dollar Too Matt Cause I heard those were good Too

Great Job Matt, I Like Wild Bill, it’s an Ok Time Waster For Me, I Enjoyed The Action, Solid Cast, Jeff Bridges & Ellen Barkin did a Good Job, But it’s Not a great film IMO Cause I thought the Story was Uninteresting & I thought a Lot Of The Supporting Characters besides Jeff Bridges were Underdeveloped & Lacked Depth, But it’s an Ok Movie But Definitely 1 of my Least Favorites Of Walter Hill
