Río Rojo Ratings & Reviews
- Mister Arn1 de julio de 2025“Red River”, directed by Howard Hawks and starring John Wayne and Montgomery Clift, is a Western that balances sweeping adventure with a tense, psychological portrait of generational conflict. It’s bold in scale and rich in character, blending rugged frontier action with emotional depth. With Wayne in one of his most complex roles and Clift bringing quiet intensity, the film stands as both a genre milestone and a compelling human drama. It’s a must-watch, not just for Wayne fans, but for anyone drawn to classic American cinema and layered storytelling.
- NickCallan10 de marzo de 2026Banger. No notes. Really kicks into gear when the decision is made to turn towards Abilene. A real sense of power and menace around Dunston. Interesting to think of him as the protagonist when he's more or less a psychopath. The film asks interesting questions around American colonialism. Incredible imagery. Cool to watch Wayne act alongside Clift, their styles so different but working so well together, And that ending... So compelling.
