The Long Riders
During the years following the Civil War, banks and trains become the targets of the James-Younger gang, outlaws who terrorize the Midwestern United States. Due to an event, the groups of brothers go their separate ways, but they soon regroup for an ill-fated bank job in Northfield, Minn., that results in an epic chase.

A superb, nitty-gritty retelling of the story of the James-Younger gang.

The Long Riders isn't quite sure which way it wants to ride, but the action scenes and cinematography make up for any misdirection.

Hill is very much in the American grain, the inheritor of the Ford-Hawks-Walsh tradition of artful, understated action film making.

The casting problems aside, this is a fairly solid, but not particularly extraordinary film.

What's ultimately missing is a definable point of view which would tie together the myriad events on display and fill in the blanks which Hill has imposed on the action by sapping it of emotional or historical meaning.

One of the more idiosyncratic James gang westerns but not necessarily one of the better ones.

Hill's lean, mean approach never had a more appealing texture than it does here...
February 05, 2008
Sacrificing investigations into the mentality behind America's most feared band of outlaws, Hill plumps for an evocation of time and place. He does a magnificent job.

A beautiful, laconic and unsentimental film.
February 05, 2008
It is an action film, an engaging one, and covers old ground with a contemporary style which never feels out of place.

Walter Hill's first outright failure.
