A beautiful, laconic and unsentimental film.
02/09/06
The Long Riders is well-done film about the legendary Jesse James.
01/29/04
Walter Hill's first outright failure.
02/05/08
Top CriticIt is an action film, an engaging one, and covers old ground with a contemporary style which never feels out of place.
02/05/08
One of the more idiosyncratic James gang westerns but not necessarily one of the better ones.
04/02/08
What's ultimately missing is a definable point of view which would tie together the myriad events on display and fill in the blanks which Hill has imposed on the action by sapping it of emotional or historical meaning.

Top CriticFour sets of brothers portray...four sets of brothers.
04/11/01
Sacrificing investigations into the mentality behind America's most feared band of outlaws, Hill plumps for an evocation of time and place. He does a magnificent job.
02/05/08
A superb, nitty-gritty retelling of the story of the James-Younger gang.
02/05/08
A so-so effort, with the gimmick of brothers playing brothers its only interesting aspect.
12/17/02
Walter Hill's first Western is atmospheric and remarkably authentic by casting real-life thespian brothers as real-life outlaw brothers.
