Big Jake Ratings & Reviews
- willyboy68August 25, 2025Another classic Duke Wayne flick! If you look at the cast closely you will see actors that have been in previous Wayne films. That is the secret to the success of John Wayne films. Consistency through a good supporting cast, including two of Duke's sons Patrick and Ethan.
- Mister ArnMay 19, 2025The times have changed, but the man remains the same. Average John Wayne western, far from his best.
