Review of Rio Bravo (1959) by Justin T — 17 Mar 2014
John Wanye's response to the great western High Noon would have been as bad as his Green Berets movie if not for the direction of Howard Hawks, who sticks true to his mantra "three good scenes and no bad ones" for a movie.
it lacks the conciseness of High Noon but at times is an excellent character study and entertaining film. I even see glimpses of Sergio Leone in the films score paving the way for a new generation of westerns.
