Review of Major Dundee (1965) by Rod A — 17 Feb 2009
While this isn't as over the top as "The Wild Bunch", it still depicts harshness and brutality without pulling any punches. Heston and Harris are a funny pairing; both have plenty of ego and come from a more bombastic acting tradition than the more subtle offerings of Ben Johnson Warren Oats.
There are no heroes in this film. There is no sense of the good guys winning (though plot-wise, they get what they're after). This is a film about conflicted people engaged in dubious exploits. Loyalty can often be murky.
