(1973) The Train Robbers.
(WESTERN).
John Wayne is getting older and their seems to be a rythm happening where as the storyline progresses it adapts to John Waynes convenience- this is another of those films! Having John Wayne as a train robber was quite a stretch especially when a good percentage of his Western films, he was always a sheriff of some town or a cavalry man, so it was a nice change to see The Duke himself playing something other than what people see him play all the time! If it ever comes a time in seeing John Wayne playing a bad guy in a film before- this may be the closest one to him doing it, that and "The Shootist"(Wayne's final film). A story written and directed by Burt Kennedy (known Western screen writer)that involves a man hiring people to rob a train with him and of along the way are badder people worse than him and his group with a ironic twist I didn't see coming! This film is fun to watch and could also be fun to make!
3 out of 4.
