An offbeat and sometimes jumbled western adventure film sees Heston as a Union officer in charge of a jail in the Southwest.

Testosterone Valhalla ... This newly restored version proves to be one of the most purely enjoyable, least thorny examples of [Peckinpah's] work.

...it is still incomplete – permanently so, since crucial scenes were never even shot – and the seams show.

Giddy-up, Western lovers. This one is worth the return engagement.

Charlton Heston is the cavalry officer assigned to eliminate Apache resistance; Peckinpah makes a fine, ironic use of his stentorian presence in what becomes a very grubby context.

Top CriticIt's not a masterpiece, but its story of Civil War enemies banding together for battle against Indian warriors and French soldiers packs an occasional wallop.

The restored version becomes a near masterpiece--a most powerful but fragmented western of epic proportions.

It's one of those flawed, fascinating films that are somehow more intriguing than many a smooth-cheeked blockbuster.

This restored version demonstrates is that while it remains an uneven work, it has flashes of brilliance as well as a general air of competence, even elegance in storytelling.

Sam Peckinpah's crippled film plays best as a dry run for The Wild Bunch.

Top CriticThe movie still isn't great, but it's an important remonstration to that oldest of all studio-system curses: the producer who thinks he's more creative than the director.
04/08/05
Top CriticIt's an ode to the unstable, explosive force that was Sam Peckinpah, as well as to the powerful studio system that crushed him and kept him down.
