Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
The pace
Breezy, at 1 hr 57 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1973: an older pace and style.
  • Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

Jack Beauregard, an aging gunman of the Old West, only wants to retire in peace and move to Europe, but a young gunfighter known as "Nobody" who idolizes Beauregard wants him to go out in a blaze of glory. So, he arranges for Jack to face the 150-man gang known as The Wild Bunch and earn his place in history.
