Chicago Sun-Times -
The Wild Bunch is one of the great defining moments of modern movies.

Orlando Sentinel -
It is certainly one of the best westerns ever made, and the best film of any kind to come out in 1969.

|
Rolling Stone -
The hard action, bracing wit and mournful grace of Peckinpah’s cowboy classic shames every new movie around. It’s a towering achievement that grows more riveting and resonant with the years.

ReelViews -
Not only does The Wild Bunch illustrate Peckinpah's mastery of his medium, but it presents a story that is effective on nearly every level: the emotional, the visual, and the visceral.

San Francisco Chronicle -
Maybe the best shoot-'em-up ever made, the one that turned meanness into a haunting pictorial poetry and summed up the corruption of guilt, old age and death in the American fantasy of the Old West.
