5.0 out of 5 stars "I've broke my back once, and my hip twice. And on my worst day I could still beat the hell out of you."
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2005

An aging Wil Andersen (John Wayne) takes a bunch of near-adolescent boys on a last summer cattle drive and along the way they become his boys and he becomes their "father" (or perhaps grandfather). It is vintage John Wayne, as he plys the young boys into young men of courage and responsibility. Wayne had lost both of his natural sons to reasons never fully explained, and he muses whether "they went bad on him or if he went bad on them". The cattle drive is his chance to redeem himself as a father figure.

The group of cowboys is a humorous gathering of personalities. One chuckles seeing them learn the ropes of breaking horses and roping steers. The boys see this as a chance to earn some much needed money, and of course to "come of age", turning from boys into young men.

Wayne's cattle group is confronted by cattle theives led by the the evil intentioned Asa Watts (played brilliantly by Bruce Dern). The climax of the movie is when Wayne confronts Dern in a mano-a-mano fist fight. Dern's character is a slimy long-haired flea-infested sleeze, and when they face off for their battle, Wayne says as only Wayne can say: "I've broke my back once, and my hip twice. And on my worst day I could still beat the hell out of you." It is a spirited battle and it appears as though Wayne will best the much younger Dern, but Dern, sensing defeat, pulls a gun and shoots Wayne, emptying his gun one slow shot at a time, shooting Wayne as he has his back turned. It is a tortuous moment for Wayne fans, as the hero dies a slow horrible death, and it appears as though evil will triumph. But quite unexpectedly, the boys turn the tables on the outlaws and wrest back the heard, finally killing the hated Dern.

The musical score is magnificent, and I recommend it as purchase in and of itself. The main score is music that defines the western music motif.

This is one of Wayne's better movies. People of all ages will enjoy it, but the killing scene of Wayne is quite graphic and may scare younger viewers. I'd recommend that parents keep their littlest ones from viewing the violent scene between Wayne and Dern. Many a boy became a John Wayne fan in watching this movie.

Jim "Konedog" Koenig, Lifelong John Wayne fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another John Wayne Classic
Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2007

John Wayne made so many classic western movies and this one was another one that you could add to his list. John Wayne plays the role of rancher Wil Anderson, Rosco Lee Browne plays the role of the chuck wagon cook and Bruce Dern plays the role as the ex con Asa Watts. Wil Anderson has a problem! He needs to take his cattle to market that's 400 miles away an his hire help walks out on him. Therefore, Anderson has to look else where for help and turns to 11 greenhorn schoolboys to help get his cattle to slaughter before winter. Enters Jedediah Nightlinger who's job is to make sure that the boys are well fed while on there journey. Asa Watts shows up with some friends looking for work and is turned away by Anderson. Now Anderson has one more problem as Watts and his gangs of rustlers are following him.

4.0 out of 5 stars Duke on the range
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2008

I've already seen this under-rated John Wayne Western classic. Unjustly maligned at the time of its release because of its theme, "boys become men though a violent rite of passage" (echoes of Vietnam & Iraq) now can be placed alongside Wayne's other great films like "The Searchers" & "The Shootist". I am not normally a fan of Westerns or of the Duke because of his conservative politics but I have to admit this is one gem in Duke's crown. Roscoe Lee Browne, Bruce Dern (at his most villainous) and Colleen Dewhurst in a brief, but amusing turn as a madam are excellent. Mark Rydell shines in his first directorial effort at a Western. The visuals and sound in HD or Blu-ray (I have both but am ordering HD) is superb. Well I have the HD DVD version and the visuals are superb, do recommend you get this version since it is way cheaper than the Blu-Ray which is from the same master. One of the Duke's last great Westerns (along with "The Shootist").

This is very possibly one of the BEST story plots and movies John Wayne ever made. He is terrific, as usual, and the color and sound are great. Too bad we had to lose a really TRUE American as he was. Loved him to death. I very much enjoyed this movie. Same as I first saw on TV. Doesn't seem to have any parts cut out or edited. Reputable dealer. Good film.
