Tycoon Ratings & Reviews

Mister ArnJuly 3, 2025
“Tycoon” casts John Wayne as a driven engineer caught in a melodrama where a railroad project takes a backseat to strained family ties and a lukewarm romance. The film touches on themes of determination, class divides, and masculine pride, but it only skims the surface, never fully committing to explore them in depth.
