Review of Big Jake (1971) by Sarfaraz A — 16 May 2012
This western of John Wayne stands firm, even with weak screenplay. Big Jake has got side-cast of sons of John Wayne, and Robert Mitchum. Filmed mostly in Durango (Mexico), capturing stunning locations.
The only thing that usually made me feel awkward, is the use of vehicles in movie. John Wayne plays a veteran legendary gunslinger, whose grandson has been kidnapped for ransom of 1 million, and you better should know what happens when grandson of such a man is kidnapped.
Big Jake is averagely superb western, that contains John Wayne's humor and wit, as usual.
