Movie Reviews of The War Wagon
Movie Review: Decent enough
Summary: 3 Stars
Not our favorite, but better than average. It is not the "Duke" being larger than life, but overall, the movie is entertaining. Just don't expect something on the order of Rio Bravo or Eldorado.
Summary of The War Wagon
An ex-convict and his partner eye an armored stagecoach fitted with a gatling gun and full of gold. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 04/12/2005 Starring: John Wayne Joanna Barnes Run time: 101 minutes Rating: Nr Director: Burt KennedyJohn Wayne and Kirk Douglas make a delightful duo in this comedic Western in which Wayne seeks revenge on a ruthless mine owner (Bruce Cabot) who had him framed and sent to prison. Upon his release, Wayne recruits Douglas in a scheme to raid and rob one of Cabot's gold-laden wagons, despite the fact that Douglas had been offered good money to kill Wayne. He joins Wayne instead (the potential profits being much greater), and they set out to ambush the War Wagon, so named because it's heavily armored, mounted with a Gatling gun, and guarded by a dozen gunmen on horses. Costarring Keenan Wynn and Howard Keel as a wise-cracking Indian, The War Wagon was a Western precursor to the action buddy films of the 1980s and '90s, serving up plenty of exciting action and constant comic relief. The interplay between Wayne and Douglas is sharp and sarcastic, and their motley crew of accomplices provides yet another source of character-driven humor. Not one of the greatest Westerns ever made, but certainly one of the most lightly entertaining. --Jeff Shannon
