      Michael McNay Guardian A mildly entertaining story of kidnap and ransom foiled by Big John that sags hopelessly when it comes to the big shoot-out. Jun 8, 2020 Full Review Margaret Hinxman Daily Telegraph (UK) Not only jolly exciting, it even manages to contrive a plot that keeps you guessing. Jun 8, 2020 Full Review David Elliott Chicago Daily News It's not great Wayne, in the tradition of Hondo or The Searchers, because neither the story nor the direction has any comparable flair... But at last it does move, an imperative asset in any decent Western. Oct 3, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy It flies in the face of Wayne's hypocritical statements at the time abhorring the new levels of sex and violence in American cinema. Rated: 2/4 May 30, 2021 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com A second rate Western, more interesting for its biographical elements, the film co-stars Wayne's own son as well as sons of Robert Mitchum and other friends, all getting the usual lessons in macho morality. Rated: C+ Nov 2, 2007 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Wayne gets little help from anyone else but Boone and can't pull off such a slight story line by his lonesome. Rated: B- Jan 6, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

      Jelisije J Another standard western film from the great John Wayne that offers nothing spectacular, but nothing bad either. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/27/24 Full Review Jeff S Far from a cinematic masterpiece, but it's a really enjoyable movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review William S Hello world! Permit me to discuss how, Cyber Genie Hack Pro team assisted me in getting my forgotten crypto wallet access back. Losing access to my wallet was traumatizing and heartbreaking to my household because it was a joint wallet where I and my partner decided to save for the future instead of using all these ridiculous financial banks in the USA controlled by the Matrix.  Our precious crypto savings were on the verge of vanishing before our very before. If there is one thing I am forever grateful for in 2024 is my encounter with Cyber Genie's team. These guys didn't even let me explain my task fully, how they delved into getting solutions for me to access my crypto wallet back still wows me and my partner. There's no better way to start the new year than with the best tech team ensuring my family's data are safe on the internet.

The stand out of the movie is the era. The transition of horse to automotive and revolver/lever action to auto/bolt action. Great movie! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/09/23 Full Review Josh G A satisfying and by the numbers western well executed. John Wayne is having fun and got great shootout just sways to the cheesy tropes of the time but still a bunch of fun. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/23 Full Review Steve D Indistinguishable from many of his other films. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
