Wall Street Journal
It is marvelously funny - a screwball comedy with more layers than a pearl - and visually sumptuous.
80
A rollicking, violent, Western-cum-comedy that serves many masters, but adds up to an entertaining hot pot of wry political commentary and general mischief.

Village Voice
Comedy and shifting-allegiances intrigue more than compensate for the dearth of rousing action in this 1920s-set film.
75
Slant Magazine
Let the Bullets Fly is an intentionally overheated and very funny comedy about how the best-laid plans tend to fall apart in spectacular fashion.
70
As an allegory on power, corruption and rough justice, it has flashes of intelligence and political acumen.
