“I think it took some guts on John Wayneu0026#39;s part to do these kind of roles late in his career, roles like u0026quot;McQu0026quot; and u0026quot;Branniganu0026quot; instead of playing it safe and giving his long term fans more of what they expected of Wayne(The War film or Western) I felt Wayne pulled off the role quite well even at his advanced age! I thought the basic message of this film was that everybody has a price, not at all unusual a theme for a 70u0026#39;s film. It was nice to see John Wayne in such a contemporary themed film. Of course he would of been great as u0026quot;Dirty Harryu0026quot; but Iu0026#39;m glad Wayne met the modern times with films like this and u0026quot;Branniganu0026quot;. I LOVED the chases and lingo here!! If I had to choose my favorite film between u0026quot;McQu0026quot; and u0026quot;Branniganu0026quot;, I would say u0026quot;Branniganu0026quot; by a very very *slim* margin because I feel it has aged a bit better because thereu0026#39;s more humor in u0026quot;Branniganu0026quot; than u0026quot;McQu0026quot;. However that doesnu0026#39;t make this film any less worthy of a entertaining view by the fan of John Wayne or the casual film viewer. *** out of a possible **** stars!”
