Bite the Bullet is epic Americana, gorgeously filmed, and a candidate for most underrated film of the 1970s. [10 Jun 2012, p.20]
Bite the Bullet is an excellent, literate action drama probing the diverse motivations of participants in an endurance horse race.

FULL REVIEW
Bite the Bullet finds the traditional power and integrity of the Western intact after all.
It offers some excellent performances, crisp direction, and overall professionalism of the entire cast and crew. What keeps it from being a great western (like FORT APACHE or HIGH NOON) is that the audience is seldom involved in the lives of the riders other than in a peripheral sense.

FULL REVIEW
A big, expensive Western that doesn't contain one moment that might be called genuine.
