The Wild Bunch
Directed by Sam Peckinpah
1969
★ 8.6 editorial score
Peckinpah showed at once what the new ratings system had licensed: slow motion, six cameras firing together, and a body count that made every western before it look polite.
“"The Wild Bunch" is about the decline and fall of one outlaw gang at what must be the bleeding end of the frontier era..."The Wild Bunch" takes the basic elements of the Western movie myth, which once defined a simple, morally comprehensible world, and by bending them turns them into symbols of futility and aimless corruption.”
