Notorious as the first John Wayne film that does the unthinkable--subject Wayne's character to a nasty fate after only a short time--the 1972 Cowboys isn't much more interesting beyond that. The story finds Wayne playing a rancher who takes 11 boys on a cattle drive. They run into a nut case (Bruce Dern) who deprives the kids of their leader, and the rest of the film is a tale of revenge. Mark Rydell (Cinderella Liberty) directs an unexciting production, although performances by some of the younger actors such as A. Martinez and Robert Carradine are memorable. --Tom Keogh

4 out of 5 stars The Late Greaty John Wayne   August 5, 2008
John Wayne's late movie career was enhanced by this traditional yet shocking twist of a ending. His death at the hands of Bruce Dern's character Long Hair and fatherly sage to his cowhands (cow children) make this an appealing western. This movie only adds to his legacy.


5 out of 5 stars A top Western--one of the Duke's best.   July 15, 2008
This is one of John Wayne's best pictures. Roscoe Lee Brown is terrific in his part, and each of the young cowboys does a fine job. I have seen an anecdote that Bruce Dern had some trouble getting good parts after doing the thoroughly bad/mean villain in this movie. Well, he did play the part 110% and even a peaceful person like myself was real happy that he got his just desserts when his number came up.

Get this video quick. You're "burning daylight" if you wait...

5 out of 5 stars First time viewing of this old time movie   June 30, 2008
Sad but true never saw this cool old time movie, with one of my favorite cowboys! Glad that I had the opportunity to see it now. It's currently one of my favorites!


4 out of 5 stars ~~GREAT WESTERN~~   June 15, 2008
Hi All.....
This movie is excellent if you like westerns or just John Wayne...I have seen this one many,many times over. Bruce Dern is of course a great bad guy!!!
