Above all, amazingly entertaining, with fantastic action sequences and brutal scenes of violence. But it's also a swan song of the dying old west, and there's powerful emotional resonance with this group of ragged, hard-edged old cowboys, who, despite their misgivings, carry with them the weight of pride and honor. One of the all-time great movie endings.

One of the most brutal and intense westerns I've ever seen. The tension between the Bunch and the bounty hunters, and even the tension among the Bunch itself keeps things interesting. Then the sheer violence and chaos of the gunfights works as a big payoff. Throughout there's a certain sentimental quality, as the men are very aware that their way of life is coming to an end, and it lends a sense of balance that, I think, defines the movie.

"Brutal" is a word that gets thrown around a lot in the description of this film, and for good reason. Despite forty years of films trying to top and outdo each other in terms of violence, this film still packs a powerful punch today. But beyond the content, it is a very competently made film, with great direction, action sequences, and loads of tension. Slows down a little too much after the brilliant opening heist, but once it gets back into gear, it fails to disappoint.

This is the greatest western ever made. Sam Peckinpah's masterpiece stars Bill Holden, Robert Ryan, Ernest Borgnine, and Warren Oates, and it blows me away every time I watch it. 3 massive action setpieces (a bank robbery, a train robbery, and the cataclysmic final massacre) highlight this somber tale of the dying old west, and old men who can't keep up with the pace of their violent lives any longer. Unbelievably bloody and sad. #3 in my all time top 10.

The Wild Bunch is a top notch western. It's got some truly classic sequences, the acting is terrific, the editing is very impressive -- especially in the fight scenes; and it's even got some surprisingly emotional moments. It's no chick flick, but the end in particular definitely resonated with me more than the average action movie does. There are of course some slower parts that aren't as exhilarating as some other scenes, but that's usually more of a strength than a weakness. Brilliant.

I've read several interpretations, all of which worthwhile: as a look at the nature of humanity, it's bleak and powerful; as a take on the western with the removal of the "hero" element, it's refreshing and original. But most of all this is a visceral experience, complete with violence and smart characterization that's at once unwatchably brutal and highly entertaining.

The fact that this movie was filled with a sense of decay, depravity and man's capacity for cruelty made it a more interesting watch than a lot of 'heroic' westerns or ones that are all about the cool, badass factor. Some interesting characters and conflicts, and it was a good watch throughout.

Can't say that this one struck much of a chord with me. It covers a lot of familiar Western themes - the encroachment of modernity leaving no room for the honourable outlaw and so on - but the pacing and the story just left me cold. Robert Ryan's character seems totally superfluous to the rest of the narrative and the lighter, more humorous moments didn't mix well with the grimy violence. The two main action sequences are worth a watch, but overall I found it fairly disappointing.

A great redemptive ending that connects all the dots and makes some thematical sense of it all saves it from being downright bad. But the first two hours aren't worth much. The humour is forced, there's never any real tension in either the plot or between the characters and the action scenes, albeit wonderfully brutal, have a poor sense of space. Maybe they're intended to be chaotic but I like my action to make spatial sense and not just to be a montage of people firing shots and getting killed.

Solid as all hell western that's somewhere between heroic romanticism & brutal nihilism. Human decency gets ceaselessly run over by the dynamics of the two. Peckinpah conjures up grave contradictions in story & style, wallowing in the wounding baseness of humanity. Uncomfortable & conflicting but to a point, I think. Excellent performances and a great balance in content. I still think that PG&BtK is more consistent & effective but damn, this commitment to misanthropy would make von Trier cringe.

Generic Western seasoned with additional fatalism and antiheroism, and a dash of politics. Some impressive moments but overall still susceptible to the tedium that comes with the territory. Numerous scenes of delirious group cackling, presumably intended as laughing in the face of death. Women don't speak.

"The Wild Bunch" opens with a bombastic action sequence, featuring a bloody town massacre. What ensues isn't as fascinating, but enough to make Peckinpah's western an enjoyable if flawed picture. It suffers from glacial pacing during the middle segments, but the influence it has had on other films is apparent -the revolutionary use of violence and Peckinpah's direction of the action scenes have proved seminal. The moral ambiguity is appreciated, while there's also some fine acting on display.

I just didn't care, there's no one to root for. The influence this movie has had is striking and very apparent (Michael Bay must love this film) but it's an influence that I hate. There's something beautiful in letting a scene develop, all the fast cuts just make me dizzy. Still, there are some solid scenes but this is just overrated. This movie also owes a lot to Bonnie and Clyde.

I don't know if I really care for Peckinpah's influence in action films (set up 8 cameras and cut furiously), but the violence (blood) and slow motion shots were often striking. It's basically a grittier version of Vera Cruz though...not that groundbreaking.

Startling violence and innovative action setpieces that are still exciting after all these years, but the story between those sequences (opening, train robbery, closing) is slow and seems like means to an end, so the film doesn't carry much narrative oomph. On the plus side, good photography and music makes the period very convincing and the cast makes pretty standard lines ("If they move, kill 'em!") instantly memorable. Important and often entertaining, but it's no masterpiece.

The Wild Bunch is not one of Peckinpah's best. It's somewhat uneven, maybe even more so than the notoriously blundered final cut of Major Dundee which was all but disowned by Peckinpah. Still, it's the work of a master, and the ending is one of the most lyrical and deeply ironic endings ever.

I can see the greatness of it, but at the same time I just didn't care. Peckinpah's view of the world as a place where the last shreds of human decency are snubbed out by relentless brutality and dishonor isn't necessarily one I disagree with, just not one I care to inhabit when I watch a movie. The action scenes were brilliant, though, really well edited and very influential. Overall, I thought it was good enough, but I'd probably never bother watching it again.

A superb cast, innovative direction, outstanding action set pieces, and a tight screenplay helps elevate this film among others within its genre. Ahead of its time by utilizing quick cuts, slow motion, and multi-angles, Peckinpah creates a one of a kind, brutal and dark western. Special shoutout to my hero, Warren Oates, who is the king of playing horny bastards.

Suprisingly good on re-watching after 40 years (or maybe after never watching it before). There is hardly a weakness in this production, when you are looking at Lucien Ballard's photography, listening to Jerry Fielding's score (with Mexican corridos and musical tips to The Magnificent Seven), or following a great script by Walon Green and Peckinpah, so deeply interpreted by two good-bad guys William Holden and Robert Ryan (heroes of WWII and postwar films).

The violence in this movie is unbelievable. Innocent people, including women and children, are put directly in harm's way and are often killed. The film and the characters are indifferent of who's being killed and who's doing the killing - it's all just meaningless violence. This is a notion we've seen many times since, but it originated here. Peckinpah's direction is tight, with just enough stylish splashes. Holden and Borgnine are a delight. This is one of the best westerns I've ever seen.

It's brutal and tense, but I couldn't shake the feeling that this was more a film pieced together from a fierce conglomeration of individual ideas for scenes -- some of which are incredible, to be fair -- than a truly gripping story with interesting characters.

Almost an anti-Western in its portrayal of the end of the frontier age and its unsympathetic band of outlaws. There's a lot here that's interesting (I liked the weird split cuts during the shootouts), but I couldn't shake the feeling that the pacing was off somehow, because I found my interest faltering several times. (I was idly wondering that if remade today, there would have to be dozens of spin-offs to tell the plot strands that only get brief mentions.)

Peckinpah's influential revisionist Western was viewed as forward thinking at the time, but it's very much a transitional film, caught neatly between two eras of film making. It has the scope and craft of classic cinema, but its innovative associational editing and approach to violence is decidedly modern; even today the final climactic shootout packs a brutal punch. But what stands out are the quieter moments, where the sadness and sense of fatalism beneath the surface become manifest.

OK, so you got these pretty skilled guys and you got some unskilled (already captured) outlaws following them, one of whom is an old teammember of the skilled guys (but he got caught). The skilled guys are trying to get rich fast and end up smack in the middle of a Mexico-US conflict. The whole movie was pretty pointless and the first hour was even pretty dull.. it started getting interesting with the train scene and yes, the ending was just EPIC (cool shootout).

Rewatch. It's been a number of years since I've watched this. I will make it far fewer next time. Every inch is fucking perfection.

Probably kicked a lot of western lovers' arses back in '69 when it was released in theaters. Gritty and depressing with good guys who are epicly flawed and bad guys who ride the fine line of both lovable and hate-able, ultimately keeping the viewer in an emotional state of flux the whole 2-hour running time. The final showdown is worth the price of admission. Mexico rules!

A startling and vicious western. Its action scenes are larger than life and ahead of their time. It's protagonists are also surprisingly unsympathetic (in a good way) for when it was made.

Gritty and dark. Gun battles with lots of innocent bystanders killed by a posse full of ignoramus deputies. Brutal but honorable bad guys robbing banks and trains. Dealing guns to corrupt military leaders. Misogynistic attitudes. Disregard for human life. This movie attempts to set many stereotypes on its ear. William Holden is the charismatic leader of this wild lawless bunch. The ending was outrageous and poetic. Well worth watching.

This definitely ranks high among the best westerns ever made. I was completely taken aback by the ending, but it lines up so well with the underlying themes of the death of the old west. The characters are fantastically well crafted and acted, albeit with a few silly things here and there. Peckinpah directs some great shootouts and suspenseful scenes, but fumbles a few too unfortunately. Nevertheless, this should be essential viewing for fans of the genre.

The action itself is dated and the editing is cheesy. I appreciated it for turning the genre a bit on its head by casting violence in an ugly light, rather than glamorizing it like most Westerns. However, it just never really grabbed me.

On a rewatch I feel I got much stronger grasp on what it's all about. It still drags for awhile until the train robbery, but from that point on everything starts to click.

"You want heroic bloodshed? HUH? YOU FUCKING WANT HEROIC BLOODSHED? Fuck you, no such thing[...] This movie is about bad men that go to Mexico and try not to be bad men, but really, they're fucking terrible." - Sam Peckinpah, paraphrased from the DVD special features documentary. Great movie, the anti-Joseph Campbell. Essential viewing for one that can stand the hard stuff and may be willing to forgive some full frontal arthropod abuse.

An epic tale on the pointlessness of violence, loyalty, male camaraderie and the destruction of life in the hands of corruption and demise.

Start off really, really slow but gets better once you start getting to know the characters better and the action and humor also picks up considerably during the second half of the film. The ending sequence especially is quite epic. Has a bunch of issues with the video presentation though that are hard to ignore.

Some subtle things work really nicely. Lots of visual metaphors and a worthwhile angle on the influence of weapons on power. But screw those stupid laughs, and screw the really tropey 'bandits with honour' stuff. Quite overrated. Action sequences got tiresome quickly.

A pretty brutal Western film. It's hard to like many of the main characters (Borgnine, Holden), but at the same time, you want to see them succeed and get away. Robert Ryan was spectacular. Deke is certainly my favorite character. Movie had good pacing and ended with the bang you knew was coming. Certain to leave an impression, and rightly quoted as being one of the greatest Westerns of all time.
