Memorable Quotes and Dialog:

"On 'Dundee' they cut 80% of the violence out and made it [the violence] very attractive and exciting; but the really bloody, awful things that happen to men in war were cut out, which I thought was unforgivable...
  - SAM PECKINPAH

Entertainment Reviews:

Entertainment Weekly - 04/15/2005
"Heston acts with a caustic, contained fury -- honor teetering on obsession -- that bridges the square fervor of a classic Western with the nihilism of contempo-stare-down revenge."
Premiere - 10/01/2005
"[With] a Heston performance that's as multi-layered as anything he's ever done."
