Overview

Two parallel tales of redemption, a century apart. In the New York storyline, Edge hunts for Angela's gold to pay back a debt, and gradually grows closer to her. In the Macedonian story, the brothers end up fighting for opposite sides of a revolution, with the religious Elijah taking up sides with the Ottoman sultan and gunslinger Luke joining "the Teacher" , a Macedonian rebel.

The bloodthirsty Dust lurches so wildly and meaninglessly between genres and time frames that all it creates is motion sickness.

Megan Lehmann, New York Post
Fresh

Dazzling and dazed.

Elvis Mitchell, New York Times
Rotten

Dust is a bust, a big bad movie of the scope, ambition and bravura that could be made only by a talented filmmaker run amok.

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Rotten

Manchevski stumbles headlong into a tangle of mismatched tones and plot points.

Hazel-Dawn Dumpert, L.A. Weekly
Rotten

In reaching for a cubist style of storytelling, [Manchevski] sacrifices character and motivation.

Leslie Camhi, Village Voice
