Entertainment Weekly, 01/20/2006, p.54, "A rich critique of loyalty and betrayal."

Ultimate DVD, 07/01/2006, p.112, 4 stars out of 5 -- "It's a story of the Old West, and tips its hat at this very cleverly by using two of the major stars of the old Westerns from the '30s onwards."

Product Quotation/Excerpt

"The line, 'I want to enter my house justified' in [the film] is my father's. We talked about that just before he died, just before the film was released. He never saw it. -- SAM PECKINPAH

Product Notes

Two grizzled cowhands reminisce about their lively pasts as they travel across dangerous country with a gold shipment they were hired to protect. This is often considered to be Peckinpah's finest film, and is typical of post-classical westerns in terms of its elegiac tone. AKA: "Guns in the Afternoon."
