This film presents the viewer with an odd perspective on the psychedelic West, but as MGM's answer to Disney's/BuenaVista's "Tombstone," it falls flat on its face. It failed at the box office, and it fails to convey any resemblance to a modernized western. Actually, this plays more like Andy Kaufman meets Quentin Tarantino in Deadwood.
That combination may sound like fun, and at times, it is, but for the most part, this is one convoluted mess that cannot live up to the name Wild Bill Hickock, though it is slick and stylish in its development and execution.
Jeff Bridges was one bright spot in this work, while there are other bright spots, they are matches next to his spotlight.
All in all? I was entertained, if somewhat aghast.
It rates a 4.8/10 from...
