The War Wagon

When you get two actors — two big personalities — who have nothing in common and aren't afraid to loudly show it, the result can either be a disaster or something where you eagerly anticipate every interaction. In this case, it’s definitely the latter. The palpable tension between them made every encounter a blast. Their clashing personalities turned this western into an absolutely entertaining affair.

A pleasant film. It’s not challenging, I liked how it mixes typical western elements with classic elements of heist films, the John Wayne and Kirk Douglas duo, Tiomkin's music… And cute humour. Three and a half stars. (23/12/2012)

When two actors click, it's simply a joy to watch. That's exactly the case with The War Wagon, where Kirk Douglas and John Wayne joined forces. A truly excellent pairing, especially in how these two could command the screen. They're precisely the cowboys you want to go on an adventure with. And that's what happens. Entertaining and pleasantly light-hearted. (02/03/2015)
