- 60The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThere’s absolutely nothing memorable about the film.... But it boasts plenty of gritty period atmosphere and earns points for its lack of pretension.
- 50Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperChicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperHickok is not without its corny, borderline-cheesy moments of fun — but it eventually loses steam due to the increasingly cliché-riddled story developments, not to mention the awkwardly edited shootouts that sometimes make it seem as if the combatants filmed their scenes on separate days.
