Runs on and on and on, but proves nothing whatever about the survival of the fittest.

Heston is more convincing in his battle scenes than in romancing Rosemary Forsyth, but nevertheless delivers a hard-hitting performance.

RTTime OutJan 26, 2006

The rituals of pagan mythology are well observed - cabalistic idols, sacrifices - as is Heston's disintegration in the face of a mental force that he can't understand.

RTTV GuideApr 23, 2011

An intelligent historical drama, exciting and atmospheric while never losing sight of the human passions that are its driving force.
