Director Walter Hill's WILD BILL is a film biography of legendary outlaw James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok (Jeff Bridges). The story covers the major events that shaped the gunman's life, including his work as a Kansas lawman, his stint in Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show, and his part-time relationship with a whip-wielding Calamity Jane (Ellen Barkin). In addition, the film shows how Hickok gained his deadly reputation, as well as his repeated confrontations with a vengeful young killer named Jack McCall (David Arquette), whose mother was wronged by Hickok years back--and who may or may not be Hickok's own son.

4/5

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 tedious, confusing, and dismal account of the historical figure.

The characters are interesting as caricature, but not as real people. There is no one in the show that the audience cares whether they live or die.
