Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch was released in 1969, the same year as George Roy Hill's Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, probably the best western ever made. The Wild Bunch lacks the subtlety and humor found in Butch and Sundance. Every character, whether Anglo, Mexican or Indian is a stereotype. There is plenty of action, but not a single character one can identify with.
Peckinpah made a better western in 1973: Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, with a score by Bob Dylan, who also appears in the film. The acting by Kris Kristofferson and James Coburn in Pat Garrett is superior to that of William Holden and Ernest Borgnine in The Wild Bunch, and the pacing of Pat Garrett is much better. The Wild Bunch, with a cast of thousands and nonstop violence, is just too long at 145 minutes with no breaks in the endless killing.

William Holden's presence on screen is viewing pleasure,Wild Bunch a great film.Holden holds his own on the Wild bunch.On blu ray still good entertainment and a new experiance on our large screen T.V.

The reviewer comparing the BD vs the standard DVD releases missed one important point, I think. The director's cut of this film is 145 whereas the BD version is only 134. Ten minutes doesn't seem like much, but it does matter in this film.

This film is strictly for men...or anyone who likes violence at its goriest. I was not pleased with it at all and gave it away to a friend. Sorry !.

Se puede observar la calidad de esta transferencia tanto en 720p como 1080p. No me ha decepcionado para nada, al contrario, a pesar de ser un film que tiene sus años me sorprendió ver algunas secuencias tan llenas de color y tan bien amalgamadas. Para aquellos que quieran conocer de que va el montaje (montage) ver este film.
The Wild Bunch es el "anti-western" por antonomasia, el western màs violento que jamás haya existido, aparte de "El Topo" de Alejandro Jodorowsky (palabras mayores). Excelente Blu-Ray que recomiendo a ojos cerrados.
* Una de las cosas de las que WB se debería preocupar es en los booklets de sus BDs, prácticamente vienen sin nada, solamente el disco. Que bueno sería ver algún contenido interesante como bien lo hace Criterion Collection.
