Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Big Jake is not one of the Duke's classics, but a diverting attempt nonetheless. Everyone seems to think that Jacob McCandles is six-feet under ('I thought you was dead' is a running line throughout), so some bad men kidnap his grandson. They want a piece of the family fortune and will kill to get it. Patrick Wayne, the Duke's own son, plays one of Big Jake's kids, and together they start out after the boy's abductors. Richard Boone makes a worthy adversary to Jake's larger than life figure, and the final confrontation between the two contains some great gritted-teeth dialogue. Maureen O'Hara is barely in the feature, sharing the same fate as Bobby Vinton as the boy's father. He seems to be onscreen just to get shot. --Keith Simanton Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great John Wayne, Great Supporting RolesAs usual it is a typical great John Wayne movie. (I'm partial to any of his movies.) A good portrayal of a time when horseless carriages were joining horse and wagon. The supporting roles are well played. His son, Patrick Wayne along with Christopher Mitchum do a very good job of portraying two dissimilar sons that have not seen their dad in a long while. Richard Boone adds to the character of the film and of course Maureen O'Hara is as natural as ever as an actress. Bruce Cabot is a long standing ...

This Western is set in 1909 as the west was changing into modern times. The movie was made in the late 1960s as the family Western movie was also giving way more serious, violent and sexy themes. In the movie, the long lost Jake McCandles (John Wayne)is summoned by his estranged wife to rescue thier gradnson after her cattle ranch was ransacked by a group of viscious bandits who have demanded ... Read More Rating: - Big Jake with John Wayne.John Wayne is the last of the Great American Cowboys. In Big Jake you will get lots of adventure, action, laughter, and Americanism. The whole family gets into the act. The Duke has always stood tall, and Big Jake is no exception. I love seeing one Man make a difference. And The Duke does. In all of his movies. I say John Wayne for President. Any one who likes westerns will like John Wayne in Big Jake. Rating: - Big JakeMy husband is a die-hard John Wayne fan and this is his favorite. It contains alot of his usual supporting cast, and a good story line. Big Jakes grandson is kidnapped so with the aid of his two boys, they must try to rescue him. |
