Notorious as the first John Wayne film that does the unthinkable--subject Wayne's character to a nasty fate after only a short time--the 1972 Cowboys isn't much more interesting beyond that. The story finds Wayne playing a rancher who takes 11 boys on a cattle drive. They run into a nut case (Bruce Dern) who deprives the kids of their leader, and the rest of the film is a tale of revenge. Mark Rydell (Cinderella Liberty) directs an unexciting production, although performances by some of the younger actors such as A. Martinez and Robert Carradine are memorable. --Tom Keogh

 The Cowboys December 1, 2008
Bufbilt (Big Bear Lake, CA)
One of my favorite John Wayne movies (with the Shootist, I must like him vulnerable lol.) His and the boys' growth together in knowledge & caring is the important story. Some objected to the ending, but "finishing the job" is important and the actions were no more violent than the times. The addition of Rosco Lee Brown was delightful and added a great deal to the film, more growth for the boys & even a bit for the main character. A proud and self-respecting, cultured Black man, in those days, is a treat to see in a movie. Bruce Dern was a tad over the top in being thoroughly vile, he's sooo good at that rofl.
The music is swell too.
Will Be Treasured October 21, 2008
DazzleDoll67 (Ontario Canada)
This movie is one movie that most of us had forgotten about. So glad I purchased it. Once again, the man was a true cowboy to the root and this movie never let me down. I am so glad I bought it. Will never give it up and it will be a treasured DVD.

 The Late Greaty John Wayne August 5, 2008
Anthony F. Zagata (Phoenix/AZ USA)
John Wayne's late movie career was enhanced by this traditional yet shocking twist of a ending. His death at the hands of Bruce Dern's character Long Hair and fatherly sage to his cowhands (cow children) make this an appealing western. This movie only adds to his legacy.
A top Western--one of the Duke's best. July 15, 2008
TTQC Driver (Sausalito, CA USA)
This is one of John Wayne's best pictures. Roscoe Lee Brown is terrific in his part, and each of the young cowboys does a fine job. I have seen an anecdote that Bruce Dern had some trouble getting good parts after doing the thoroughly bad/mean villain in this movie. Well, he did play the part 110% and even a peaceful person like myself was real happy that he got his just desserts when his number came up.
Get this video quick. You're "burning daylight" if you wait...
