Movie Reviews of Bite the Bullet
Movie Review: Entertaining but hokey
Summary: 3 Stars
"Bite the Bullet" is an entertaining movie that came out in 1975. It chronicles a 700 mile horse race around 1900 and the competitors who take part in it. Each of the racers has a story, and they gradually reveal their personalities and reasons for entering the race. The movie is interesting and reminded me more than a bit of "Stagecoach." Unfortunately, it becomes rather hokey toward the end and starts to feel more and more like a mediocre 70's action TV show. Great cast, though, with the likes of Gene Hackman, Candice Bergman, James Coburn, and Ben Johnson.Movie Review: Unusual Western, Typical of the 70s Style of Filmmaking
Summary: 3 Stars
A grueling 700 mile horse race attracts a motley crew of competitors, including a cowboy (Gene Hackman), a gambler (James Coburn), a greenhorn (Jan Michael Vincent), a former Pony Express Rider (Ben Johnson) and an ex-prostitute (Candice Bergen). While the riders are all given character arcs, their horses aren't even given personalities.

Movie Review: Hearts in the Right Place. Corny?.....So What?
Summary: 3 Stars
I want to see the knowhow of Hackman, the street smarts of Coburn and the earthy, toughness of Johnson.
Want to see heros and nobility. Especially want to see Hackman giving his frothing horse water, instead of first riding over the finish line. I don't care about the corn. Made me feel good.
Movie Review: Candice Bergen is so charming
Summary: 3 Stars
OK plot but if you are a Candice Bergen fan like I am (from The Sand Pebbles to Murphy Brown), you will enjoy it.Movie Review: Bite this!
Summary: 2 Stars
Ohhh the brutality, ohhhhh the dying breed, ohhhh the sense of loss, ohhhh the prejudice! Jeez, when are all the revisionists going to stop analyzing Westerns for crying out loud? S**t happens. If it offends your socially engineered sensibilities then go back to the comfort of your Meryl Streep collection.Boring, tedious, and very tiresome waste of celluloid-particularly in light of Coburn/Hackman/Bergen's presence. Nothing interesting or intriguing here, unless you are obsessed with 19th century desert dentisty. May have been a little better without the constant diversion of the out-of-place south of the border guy with the bad tooth. A monument to the stupid ultra-left creeping sensitivity of the 60/70's.
Virtually impossible to sit through the entire film. I think I'd rather have my eyes stapled open for the entire Lucky Luke/Trinity series. 2 Horses-all deader'n hell.
