"The most violent movie Disney has ever released, with so much blood spurting out of orifices that even Martin Scorsese would blush," says FoxNews.com's Roger Friedman. "If you've wondered what it would be like to see heads and hearts removed without anesthesia, then this is the movie for you . . . The action is often cartoonish, and the dialogue - which is all spoken in some ancient dialect with subtitles - is often preposterous. In one scene, after what seems like the umpteenth bloody killing, one Mayan quips to another and the translation is, 'He's [bleeped].' "

When a host asks if the "stress and driving yourself to a limit of knowing what you could do with this film perhaps led you back to drinking," Gibson replies, "Absolutely, I think there's a lot of pressures."
