This terrific Walter Hill Western follows the careers of the James and Younger brothers--and uses the nifty idea of casting actual clans of acting siblings in the roles. Thus, the James brothers are played by James and Stacy Keach; the Youngers by David, Keith, and Robert Carradine; the Millers by Randy and Dennis Quaid; and the Fords by Christopher and Nicholas Guest. Hill, working with an evocative Ry Cooder score, creates a film that is at once breathtakingly exciting and elegiac in its treatment of these post-Civil War outlaws. The Keaches in particular bring a surprising dignity to the roles of Frank and Jesse James, while David Carradine is a hoot as Cole Younger--and the Quaids mimic real life (as it was for them then) in their battles as the Miller brothers. Bloody, to be sure, but also bloody good. --Marshall Fine

Good looking film March 4, 2010
kevnm (Costa Mesa, CA United States)
I agree with the reviewers who have praised the photography,the extensive use of Ry Cooder's music, the sets and costumes and the clever casting. Those elements make the film a pleasure to look at and to listen to. I realized after seeing the movie again though, that those sensitively executed elements don't add up to a great film. A very good film, for sure, but not a classic by any means. The lack of a compelling script makes this movie less than the sum of its attractive parts.
Don't miss it if you've never seen it, but John Ford it ain't.
 good tale February 18, 2010

If you want to see a great take on Jesse James- this is it,
Ry Cooder's music is what made me always want a copy- but the acting is top of the line.

Great movie, lots of action in the Old West steeing. Impressive cast and great action.
 A film too slow and it's rather boring August 14, 2009

I ordered a DVD from Amazon.com but "The Long Riders" could have been a better film with more action and inclusion of nudity at several occassion calls for strict viewing only. My minor younger brother and sister like Western movies too and they often share the couch whenever I have new western DVD / BluRay from Amazon. But, with this film the story is different and I have to stop the film halfway because of nudity and frontal exposures which is not suitable for minors. I also feel that the film is rather "graphic" in showing close ups of someone getting shot at in cheek, chest and forehead. The film could have been better and the element of typical "Cowboyism" is missing. As for the film, I am not going to screen it again at home in future. I'd rather watch the old rusty westerns from my VHS collection. This is my personal opinion, I do not mean to harm or hurt anyone's sentiments. See it to judge it.....

Billy Beecham (Big Sandy,TN USA)
The Long Riders is one of the most convincing westerns that I have ever seen. I have owned this movie in VHS form for years & am glad to now have the DVD. I recomend this movie highly. This movie was way ahead of it's time for FX, etc...The Keach,Carridines,Quad&the Guest Brothers are great my hat's-off to the Walter Hill on a wonderful job directing. 5 STAR!!!
