I consider this flick Clint’s most over looked film. It is a nice Western by director John Sturges
(The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape) as Clint plays a mercenary assisting the
great Robert Duvall in hauling in a Mexican bandito played by the very white
John Saxon. Clint has some fantastic
lines in this film and I forgot it was from the late writer Elmore Leonard.
(Justified, Jackie Brown) Watch it or
Clint might knock your damn head off.
Highly recommended.
Another solid Clint Eastwood Western as he plays a man on a recon
mission to take over a French fort in Mexico and saves a nun in trouble along the
way. This was Clint’s second of five
collaborations with director Don Siegel and also stars or if you look at the old
posters stars Shirley MacLaine. Okay Universal keep showing us the love. We need the Eiger Sanction and Play Misty for Me on blu now, thanks.
This movie was the super team of its day as Wayne and Douglas
were the top stars of the time so both of them in a movie together was a big
deal. The duo takes on a bad guy who has
a state of the art wagon setup with a gatling gun, lasers and rockets. But they want what is in that wagon so they
are still going to take it down. I hate this poster art and since when was the Duke left handed?
The first was a solid comedy that has held up better than
some of Ferrell’s other movies. I think
I would have preferred a Step Brothers sequel rather than this first Ferrell
sequel. Picked up the steel box with both movies at the big box store.
The holiday’s biggest bomb and I have zero interest in this,
maybe if it came out a decade earlier or had someone other than Keanu. Pass.
This is a nice sequel to Wayne’s Oscar role in True
Grit. The marshal is out on the hunt and
teams up with a minister’s daughter to catch her father’s killers. The Duke and Katharine Hepburn are really
good together in this western.
