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

The Wild Bunch is an American masterpiece, one of the greatest films ever produced in the Hollywood system.

In an era when body-count films mirror the mounting body count offscreen, The Wild Bunch dissects death rather than glorifying it.

Arguably the strongest Hollywood movie of the 1960s -- a western that galvanizes the cliches of its dying genre with a shocking jolt of delirious carnage.
