My favorite performance in the film comes from Bruce Dern, enthusiastically loopy as the booze-soaked town doctor. You can rarely accuse Bruce Dern of phoning it in.

A perfectly serviceable Western featuring a comfortingly familiar storyline, Hickok will tide genre fans over until more substantial offerings come along.

The legendary Wild West gunslinger rides again in this unabashedly retrograde oater.

Hickok is like that: it tends to skip potentially interesting story developments, probably due to the way-too-short runtime.

A tense and satisfying Western. But you do have to check your realistic expectations at the door.

Despite some stylish shootouts, this mildly compelling if haphazardly assembled oater lacks historical context and fires too many narrative blanks.

This is close to as poor as the worst western series of the 1960's or the most pointless spaghetti westerns of the 1970's, only in a modern spotless fashion. Glossy cinematography, in an extremely flat light and with ditto acting performances, where the characters aren't basically more credible than in a Brazilian soap opera. This has little or nothing to do with the historical Wild Bill Hickok. Neither does the leading actor, Luke Hemsworth, look anything like him, and it seems that nearly all acting performers were casted due to their some kind of handsome looks and nothing else, except from Kris Kristofferson who got the role because of his fame. Tedious, pretentious and aimless.

What kind of made-for-television movie production is this? It features a few recognizable names appearing in it, for example, Luke Hemsworth, Trace Adkins, Kris Kristofferson, and Bruce Dern. None of them are showing their A+ effort in this movie. After perusing through the director's filmography on IMDb, I do not think any of his movies received a star rating average higher than six out of ten possible. Hickok is a less-than-stellar movie.

The actors and directors do what they can with an ok script, but this movie would have been better if they had an actual budget.

Hickok is a very mediocre, low production value Western full of melodrama and cliches. Half a star is purely for Bruce Dern who is the only one turning in a decent performance, but it's not all the actors' fault: the script is terrible and despite an interesting subject and relatively short run time, the movie dragged. Only for the Western enthusiast desperate for new material.

I am a big fan of westerns and Hickock just didn't do it for me. Editing was worthless. Definitely would not recommend this mess.
