Plot:
The final film by the legendary director Howard Hawks, released in 1970, found him paired with longtime leading man John Wayne in a story slightly similar to their more familiar Rio Bravo and <...( read more

Not as good as the similarly-titled Rio Bravo (or as good as El Dorado, for that matter) but this John Wayne western is still worth a look.
After the Civil War, Cord McNally searches for the traitor whose perfidy caused the defeat of McNally's unit and the loss of a close friend.
Considering how good 'Rio Bravo' is, was it really neccessary to remake it twice? This is the 2nd of Hawk's remakes, and to be honest, it's a rather flat film. To be fair, John Wayne is pretty good here, showing how relaxed he has become in these roles over the years (and despite being quite ill at the time), and some of the dialogue is brilliant (of course, it's a Hawks film) but the plain over-familiarity with the material ruins the experience completely, despite starting well (the scenes at the Train heist are cracking). Only recommended to Western enthusiasts and Hawks fans, which is doubly sad as this was to be Hawk's final film.
Great western. Jack Elam is a wonderful side kick and adds great comic relief. Can't go wrong with a movie with the Duke in it.
Fast-moving, exciting and totally engrossing of John Wayne western film. And Jack Elam is terrific in a delightful supporting role.
Not one of the better John Wayne western movies set at the end of the Civil War its a good movie but nothing to cheer about.
"Rio Lobo" is my fav
John Wayne movie.
But of course Jorge Rivero is
another grand reason to watch it.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Rio Lobo" !
