Howard Thompson · The New York Times 70.00/100.00
Jogs along fairly tediously on the rescue trail, with the star being his laconic self, plus conventional spurts of violence, likewise the saddle humor.

Big Jake is an extremely slick and commercial John Wayne starrer, this time as a long-gone husband out to rescue a grandson from kidnapper Richard Boone.
Staff (Not Credited) · Time Out 50.00/100.00
A late Wayne Western, depending heavily on recycling better (and no better) earlier pictures.
