    Good John Wayne film, though a little anti-climactic.

    I love John Wayne, but this movie is a hopeless clunker. Very dull and very cheesy. The only thing that saves it from a dreaded half-star rating is the presence of the Duke.

    Enjoyable action-packed and escapism with John Wayne, Lauren Bacall and assorted Chinese escaping down river to Hong Kong.

    This is a good movie

    This movie was funny and entertaining. Though they did smuggle in a couple of people to pretend to be Chinese, the rest of the people seemed to be of the right nationality lol. It's so distracting when they do that!
