The Long Riders Ratings & Reviews
Paste Magazine
Mitchell Beaupre
Strips away a lot of the steely gazes and taciturn men from Hill's first few pictures and gives us richly detailed interpersonal dynamics in the James-Younger gang and the men and women circling around them.
New West/California
Stephen Farber
The Long Riders is exceptionally well made, but I came out feeling that there was no pressing reason to make it at all.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
The Long Riders sounds like merely a gimmick -- cast real-life brothers as real-life outlaw siblings -- but it turned out to be one of the last decent Westerns to hit the big screen until the early 1990s brought us Dances with Wolves and Unforgiven.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
This languidly fatalistic rendering of the oft lionized bank robbers is one of the few revisionist westerns to equal the gritty poetry of Hill's predecessor Sam Peckinpah.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
Hill is very much in the American grain, the inheritor of the Ford-Hawks-Walsh tradition of artful, understated action film making.
Groucho Reviews
Peter Canavese
Hill's lean, mean approach never had a more appealing texture than it does here...
CinePassion

Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
The casting problems aside, this is a fairly solid, but not particularly extraordinary film.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
One of the more idiosyncratic James gang westerns but not necessarily one of the better ones.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Walter Hill's first outright failure.
TV Guide
A superb, nitty-gritty retelling of the story of the James-Younger gang.
Variety
Variety Staff
What's ultimately missing is a definable point of view which would tie together the myriad events on display and fill in the blanks which Hill has imposed on the action by sapping it of emotional or historical meaning.
Fantastica Daily
Chuck O'Leary
Walter Hill's first Western is atmospheric and remarkably authentic by casting real-life thespian brothers as real-life outlaw brothers.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
The Long Riders is well-done film about the legendary Jesse James.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Bob Bloom
A so-so effort, with the gimmick of brothers playing brothers its only interesting aspect.
Apollo Guide
Scott Weinberg
Four sets of brothers portray...four sets of brothers.
