Script review - "Wild Bill" by Walter Hill

I found this very hard going. Long, boring, pointless. Why write it? Why film it? Why finance it? I just don't get why they thought anyone would see it. There's lots of action and shoot outs at the beginning but this is repetitive - just Wild Bill killing people in shoot outs. Calamity Jane is cool but her part isn't very big. I liked the language but after a while it became boring because there wasn't a story. Bill is reflective. McCall threatens to kill him, and is shooed away, and finally kills him... Big deal. It feels like a play, with a lot of people standing around a saloon talking. It's just boring.
