Walter Hill is a director I am really starting to appreciate. He isn't talked about as masterclass, but he's certainly no jobber. Hill always seems to have a vision, his films have life, and The Long Riders is no exception. Full of brothers playing brothers, the film meanders and explodes in true western style. The drama associated with the story and plot are good, but those action scenes absolutely knock you off your seat. A good film filled with wonderful shots, a great climax, and fantastically raw action.

Charming and fun who-dunnit. The usual attention to detail, offbeat humor, and quirky Anderson style are all there. Mixed with interesting animation, period jumping, and aspect ratio tinkering, this is a great watch.

Works as a spy film, action film, revenge film, and siege film. Does a good job at taking relatively small stakes (for a Bond film), and blowing them up on a grander scale. So easily digestible, this film is fun to watch, has the just the right amount of humor, and is the best looking Bond film ever.
