Editorial Review:
Notorious as the first John Wayne film that does the unthinkable--subject Wayne's character to a nasty fate after only a short time--the 1972 Cowboys isn't much more interesting beyond that. The story finds Wayne playing a rancher who takes 11 boys on a cattle drive. They run into a nut case (Bruce Dern) who deprives the kids of their leader, and the rest of the film is a tale of revenge. Mark Rydell (Cinderella Liberty) directs an unexciting production, although performances by some of the younger actors such as A. Martinez and Robert Carradine are memorable. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - First time viewing of this old time movie
Sad but true never saw this cool old time movie, with one of my favorite cowboys! Glad that I had the opportunity to see it now. It's currently one of my favorites!
Rating:  - ~~GREAT WESTERN~~
Hi All.....
This movie is excellent if you like westerns or just John Wayne...I have seen this one many,many times over. Bruce Dern is of course a great bad guy!!!
Rating: - The Duke Gives a Class in Manhood
The Cowboys is not your standard John Wayne Western movie. Two big differences. First off, due to circumstances, the Duke has to work with schoolboys for this cattle drive. A task he is not too found of, but that he takes head on. But, I guess that is the main point of the movie...what would it take to teach school boys how to handle a man's job. According to this movie, a whole lot of man sized training. Second, John Wayne dies in the movie, and pretty early by Wetern standards. I was a little surprised ... Read More
Rating: - Classic
Purchased for my husband, but I am a fan a well. Little to be said other than it is the best of John Wayne's movies. Timeless. Highly recommend.
Rating: - westernidyll
I have only a few comments. No great fan of John Wayne, or the politics of his times, or any attempt to support or condone violence, I find this film a masterpiece. It is a sheer cinematic treasure of great performances, Wayne's included. The cowboys were perfectly chosen. The cinematography, music, script, all are superb. This film will always be a classic.
