Wild Bill Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn
May 25, 2025
The way Walter Hill handled the flashback scenes made the movie disjointed. Although these scenes are essential to the plot, they were complicated to watch and challenging to follow. You could see the potential of Jeff Bridges as Wild Bill, but it just doesn't work.
Los Angeles Magazine
Peter Rainer
Wild Bill, starring Jeff Bridges, is Walter Hill's best film in years. It's a movie about the self-destructive power of myth. By the end, Hill makes that self-destruction seem like the archetypal American story.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Jeff Bridges delivers an intense performance, but an animated Ellen Barkin seems to have wandered over from the set of a sitcom.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
Considering Walter Hill's formidable filmography, Wild Bill hasn't aged as well as some of the auteur's progressively inclined titles, but is still worth a look for the expected technical and narrative proficiencies.
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
Not just an elegy for the myth of the Old West, it's an elegy for a time and a place that never really existed in the first place.
The Retro Set
Nathanael Hood
The main problem in Wild Bill is that it seeks-and fails-to balance New Hollywood introspection with B-movie theatrics and action.

Interesting take on Wild Bill Hickock, again mixing more fable with his real life.

A rare Walter Hill movie that just didn't work for me.

A Hot, Adrenaline-Pumping Western...Barkin is blistering!

Brian Mckay
A tedious, confusing, and dismal account of the historical figure.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie tries for poetry and elegy in its closing scenes, and we can see where it's headed, although it doesn't get there.
USA Today
Mike Clark
The movie itself is a lot of deadwood in the competitive holiday season.
