    “The Hurricane Express” originates from the early part of John Wayne’s career, during his tenure with Mascot Pictures. It’s very much a product of its era, light on depth, with basic effects, rough editing, and broad, theatrical performances. While it shows its age, it offers a glimpse into the kind of fast-paced, cliffhanger storytelling that defined early movie serials.
