The Wild Bunch - (Sam Peckinpah;1969;USA)
Shortly before WW1, after a failed score, a group of aging outlaws go to Mexico to find another way to make a final score while being pursued.
I had difficulty rating this. I'm gonna keep it at three stars until I see it again. I felt it was somewhat overlong, but still a very important western. It's a funeral of sorts, depicting the death of the west as most films depict. The degradation of honor to more mindless violence. The cast is great, especially Holden, whose presence is very strong. I think the ending was perfect for it as well, being somewhat optimistic. Ain't like it used to be, but it'll do. I'm interested in seeing Straw Dogs.
