Buy This Item The Wild Bunch - The Original Director's Cut (Two-Disc... by Warner Home Video  Available from Amazon  $14.99  on 11-26-2008     Outlaws on the Mexican-U.S. frontier face the march of progress, the Mexican army and a gang of bounty hunters led by a former member while they plan a robbery of a U.S. army train. No one is innocent in this gritty tale of of desperation against changing times. Pump shotguns, machine guns and automobiles mix with horses and winchesters in this ultraviolent western. Reader Reviews In this movie, Peckinpah dishes up violence like a glutton at a smorgasbord finally released from an enforced diet. It might have gotten a bit ridiculous except that William Holden, who anchors this film, keeps it within the realm of believability. Although purportedly a western, The Wild Bunch is really a buddy film that takes place in the Wild West--including the Mexican west for a good part of the film. This film is well staged and tightly scripted with fine acting by a great ensemble cast. Those that abhor excessive violence may prefer Peckinpah's Ride the High Country, but this is an exceptional Western made by a great director at the top of his game. The Shopkeeper
