Critic Reviews for Hickok

All Critics (7) | Top Critics (4)

My favorite performance in the film comes from Bruce Dern, enthusiastically loopy as the booze-soaked town doctor. You can rarely accuse Bruce Dern of phoning it in.

Chicago Sun-Times
Top Critic

A perfectly serviceable Western featuring a comfortingly familiar storyline, Hickok will tide genre fans over until more substantial offerings come along.

Top Critic

The legendary Wild West gunslinger rides again in this unabashedly retrograde oater.

Variety
Top Critic

For a film about one of the fastest guns in the West, the dramatically lightweight "Hickok" is mighty slow on the draw.

Top Critic

A tense and satisfying Western. But you do have to check your realistic expectations at the door.

Family Home Theater

Despite some stylish shootouts, this mildly compelling if haphazardly assembled oater lacks historical context and fires too many narrative blanks.
