Movie Reviews

Movie Views - 7/10 by Ryan CracknellEdwards proves that he was a more diverse filmmaker than perhaps he was given credit for.
Time Out - 6/10 by Geoff AndrewMarvellous performances and elegiac photography (by Philip Lathrop) are well complemented by Edwards' unusually light touch.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzNever kicks in as anything more than a fashionable mood piece.
7M Pictures - 4/10 by Kevin CarrWhether it was the writing or the directing, it just seemed to be a little aimless to me.
New York Times - 4/10 by Vincent CanbyA film that is more compelling as the work of a specific director (whose thoughts have here turned west) than as an isolated entertainment, as an end in itself.
Cleveland Press - 4/10 by Tony MastroianniThere is natural simplicity and then there is a contrived simplicity that kind of yells out at you and says "Hey, look how simple and low-key this is."
User Review - 8/10 by Noel VWild Rovers is possibly Blake Edward's masterpiece, a sometimes comical, sometimes violent, mostly mournfully tender film about two cowhands who decide to rob a bank. Not a perfect film--the bits that seemed borrowed from Peckinpah look exactly that, borrowed--but you might call this Edwards' reply to Peckinpah, that a film can be unflinching and still be concerned about other things than machismo, mayhem and madams. Edwards has a surer, gentler grasp of comedy than Peckinpah (bits of the funny stuff in The Wild Bunch is hard to take), his view of his characters feels more rueful, more subdued (an arguably more difficult achievement I submit), sometimes as densely textured and detailed as a Larry McMurtry western. The widescreen photography is not just shallowly gorgeous--Edwards seems to have a genuine grasp of how to fill all that wide space with interesting compositions.
User Review - 6/10 by Chris PI love the ending... the conversation at the end... wow!!!
User Review - 6/10 by Paul DA slightly offbeat western, but just about beats the post 'Wild Bunch' death of the genre and is a notable achievement for Blake Edwards in an area he is not generally known for.
User Review - 6/10 by Rick Qnot sure if it was on purpose or not, but i found "wild rovers" to be incredibly cheesy. and whether it was on purpose or not, i liked that about it. i think the cheesiness worked partly because of the film's humor, which was, for the most part, actually pretty funny. though some parts dragged and felt like they were missing something, it wasn't enough to keep the movie from being an enjoyable one.
