Still, with everything working against him, the Duke manages to be an old-school badass and stick it to those fancypants Brits. Read full review

Amiable thriller merging Fabian of the Yard with Dirty Harry. [21 Mar 2004, p.91]

Brannigan isn't great, but it's a wellcrafted action movie and, besides, it's got John Wayne in it. Read full review

Basically a formula film with all the usual car chases, knock-downs, booby traps, etc. If you like John Wayne, you'll love Brannigan. If you just think he is...well, only all right, you'll be better off reading a book. This is not one of the Duke's best. Read full review

Unfortunately, Mr. Wayne's first film trip to London doesn't appear to have been necessary. He and his busy company only serve to make Brannigan a commonplace crime caper. Read full review

In Brannigan, John Wayne carries on his new career as an urban cop with all the ease of a corraled mustang. [14 Apr 1975, p.92]
