Its complex and vivid portrayal of the absurdity of war, however, prompted none other than Orson Welles to write Peckinpah and proclaim it the finest antiwar film he had ever seen.

Top Critic Cross of Iron would almost seem a proper mea culpa by Peckinpah for his controversial career.

Mr. Peckinpah's least interesting, least personal film in years, a hysterically elaborate, made-in-Yugoslavia war spectacle, the work of international financiers and a multinational cast.

Top Critic Peckinpah indulges in endless combat scenes (this was his only war movie), which try the patience of viewers who came for the real story.
