The story itself portrays the "wildness" of the characters with aplomb. The direction was perfectly strong. With violence and imagery that was more than overbearing for its day, The Wild Bunch deserves to be in shelved in the 'classics' department. Ashe.

Self-sacrifice of aged machismo. Incredible film, and brilliantly cast.
