Rio Lobo Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A rambling Western.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Hawks last Western is his weakest collaboration with Wayne, but the film offers an occasion to see the aging Duke trying to rise above the routine plot and amateurish ensemble, including Sherry Lansing who would become a powerful Hollywood studio exec.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
In this case, the story itself doesn't matter much. We go to a classic John Wayne Western not to see anything new, but to see the old done again, done well.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
John Wayne is great to watch, and the train holdup sequence that leads the film is genuinely exciting.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
A fun Western.
TIME Magazine
Jay Cocks
The Duke knows by instinct what audiences accept without question: whatever he may be called in the script, he is always unmistakably John Wayne. And who would have it any other way?
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
The fact that its best action sequence, the first, was directed by the second unit is emblematic of Hawks's relative lack of engagement with the material.
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Delightful Western with unusually rich visual style.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
A film of mementos, of deliberately pale shadows
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Wayne is always fun to watch, even in lesser form here.
Tolucan Times
Tony Medley
A John Wayne western; what more could you want?
Movie Eye
Frank Ochieng
The Duke rules with his iron fists in Hawks's wily westerner.
Cleveland Press
Tony Mastroianni
Rio Lobo is less for the Western movie fan than it for the John Wayne fan and it may put a strain on the latter's loyalty.
Variety
Hawks' direction is as listless as the plot.
TV Guide
For such a refined director as Hawks to end his career on a note like this, having made some of the finest films in the history of American cinema, is an atrocity not worth the silver used in the negative.
