Rating: C -- The Duke, desperate to maintain his hold with viewers, tries to step into the Dirty harry territory with this disappointing crimer. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- It's more a rumor than cold, hard fact that Wayne was offered the role of Dirty Harry and passed on it. At any rate, the Duke played his own version of Inspector Harry Callahan in this agreeable if stridently unexceptional film. Full Review

Rating: B- -- A rethinking, if you will, by the Duke of turning down the role of Dirty Harry. Full Review

There are killings aplenty fore and aft, car chases galore, lots of non-actors to match Wayne; lots of actors to be wasted... lots of flashy photography of Seattle to glaze the eye, and marble-mouthed dialogue to stultify the brain. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- Without the Duke, this would be a mediocre police adventure

Rating: 2/5 -- Uma triste ironia do Cinema que a única colaboração entre Sturges e Wayne tenha sido neste policial urbano medíocre que já nasceu anacrônico.

John Wayne, at 65, is nothing less than a national monument. And he deserves better upkeep and attention than his latest film, McQ, provides. Full Review

Product Description:

John Wayne, prized as a right-wing icon during the late 1960s and early 1970s, was often critical of Clint Eastwood during this period for the violent bleakness of his Westerns and the take-no-prisoners attitude of his Dirty Harry character. Apparently, he changed his tune, at least for the duration of this film's production, in which he stars as Lt. Lon McQ, an aging Seattle detective. When his best friend, narcotics cop Stan Boyle (William Bryant), kills two policemen before himself being shot, McQ's boss, Capt. Ed Kosterman (Eddie Albert), believes it to be the work of radicals, so he orders a roundup of same. McQ, however, believes that drug dealer Manny Santiago (Al Lettieri) might be responsible, since he's hired some shooters for what McQ believes is an imminent heist. This turns out to be the theft of impounded narcotics evidence, but when Santiago opens the glassine bags and finds only sugar, McQ realizes that his own department is corrupt. Furious at Kosterman because of his refusal to accept the evidence, McQ quits the department but continues to pursue the case on his own. The slow-moving, badly toupeed Duke seems sadly out of place in this urban cop film, which is serviceable enough on its own terms. Among the film's bright spots are a brilliant turn by Colleen Dewhurst as a sexy waitress and Elmer Bernstein's pulsating score.
