Mediocre at best. There's not one memorable scene in this movie. Its story is predictable and shallow: no dilemmas, no tragic, no profound love, no motives, no insight into politics or society. People are stereotypes with no credible background story. Their motives are unclear. They look too clean. The only anti-hero type and credible figure at all is maybe Dean Martin who plays an ex-drunkard who gets a second chance (sic!) (oh and he sings beautifully - he's THE Dean Martin after all). The violence is not realistic. Gunfights are just not what an actual gun fight looks like. Sometimes it has a strange comedy feel too it - but that's certainly not what the director intended. Mediocre score. Not a stretch of that presumably wonderful dessert scenery is shown.

Predictable and John Wayne just being John Wayne. Only thing that might make this movie worth watching is Dean Martin and Walter Brennan.

Not as gritty a western as I was lead to believe, but quite a damn fine movie nonetheless. Fantastic characterisations and charisma between a stellar cast. This is one of the greats.

The good outweighs the bad in Hawks macho movie.

Filmed by Howard Hawks as a response to what he saw as none macho cinema in Gary Cooper's acclaimed High Noon, Rio Bravo has moments of brilliance that are sadly coupled with failings that are not Hawksian peccadilloes. The macho plot is simple b More
