Benedict Cumberbatch has defended his Oscar-nominated movie The Power of The Dog in which he plays the lead role, after actor Sam Elliott called it 'a piece of s**t.'
The 45-year-old actor responded to scathing rant from Elliott - a man who built his career in Westerns - who bashed the Western Psychological drama for having characters "running around in chaps and no shirts".
The 77-year-old veteran actor made the remarks on Marc Maron's WTF podcast last week and continued into condescending critique, questioning what New Zealand native director Jane Campion, "knows about the American West".
