Wild Bill (1995)
7/10
Ellen Barkin in the old west
8 April 2007
I can just barely recommend this movie because I happen to like Ellen Barkin. This role as Calamity Jane isn't anywhere near her outstanding performance in The Big Easy. Jeff Bridges did a fairly good job as Wild Bill Hickock. Fans of the TV series Deadwood may want to watch to see another version. David Arquette was the worst Jack McCall that you could imagine; gunning after Wild Bill because he thought he left his mom (Diane Lane). It was slow as westerns go and that was a fine set of guns Wild Bill had. They must have got off 20 shots at the end! Like so many movies, I feel the ending will leave you disappointed. It just didn't seem in character for McCall.
