Watch Rio Bravo For Free

Very best movie i ever watch

Simply A Masterpiece

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

There are quite a few seminal classic American westerns (such as 'High Noon', 'The Searchers', 'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance' or 'Shane' - to name but a few), but 'Rio Bravo' ended up being my favorite among those. It's the quintessential film of the genre, yet although it delivers pretty much all of the classic western tropes in spades, I think the main reason I love it so much is because it's also such a great buddy movie.Pairing John Wayne's stoic hero sheriff against the self-deprecating wit of Dean Martin's alcoholic deputy was a stroke of genius, as was the casting of a very charming Angie Dickinson in the female lead role and veteran Walter Brennan as grumpy old Stumpy. The constant bickering between all the main characters makes 'Rio Bravo' so much fun, but the humor in the great script and the wonderful performances by the game cast are only half of what makes this movie so great.The other quality 'Rio Bravo' has which makes it stand out among other greats of the genre is its mood. There's an almost apocalyptic sense of doom permeating the movie throughout, and that constant dread combined with the film's humor - which is often of the gallows' kind - gives it a special kind of atmosphere that other classic American westerns of that era lack. What also adds to that unique tone of the movie is the central piece of music, the hauntingly beautiful Mexican ballad 'El Deguello' which plays an important role in the film.'Rio Bravo' was the last truly great movie by one of the towering figures from Hollywood's "Golden Age", Howard Hawks (who had previously made such classics as 'Scarface', 'Red River' 'The Big Sleep', 'His Girl Friday', 'To Have And Have Not' and many more). The veteran director seemed to have realized he had made something special too, as he went on to remake 'Rio Bravo' not once but twice during his remaining years. In fact, his two last films were those two remakes ('El Dorado' in '67 and 'Rio Lobo' in '70). Both films featured John Wayne in the lead role, and while they're both solid westerns, they couldn't quite capture the unique charm of the original.As it is, 'Rio Bravo' remains a highly influential classic (Quentin Tarantino cites it as one his favorite movies) and a masterpiece of the western genre. 10 stars out of 10.P.S.

Yes westerns are old-fashioned now but some of the old ones like this one are still good and pleasant to watch. This movie combines in a very realistic way suspense, action, sentiment and humour. Howard Hawks has done very good movies between 1926 and 1970 not all of them westerns. This movie has great actors like John Wayne (one of Hawks' favourites) and Dean Martin who perform great roles here. This is the simple story of a small town in Texas where a sheriff (John Wayne) has two assistants, one a drunkard (Dean Martin) and the other an old crippled man. He's got to face a powerful gang that is trying to free one of its members who was arrested for murder by the sheriff. The action develops itself in several episodes many of them violent but acceptable in terms of psychological and visual reality. A good film of its kind.

RIO BRAVO is a strange, but very good combination between western and a comical melodrama. A local sheriff, in a small Texas town, has arrested a mean bully for a murder. The killer's brother, a wealthy rancher, has hired a small army of professional mercenaries, with the intent to rescue him from prison. The sheriff has resisted against bandits with the help of unusual friends...Mr. Hawks has, above all, drew attention of the audience to the protagonists in this film. Characterization is not ideal, but this is a very bold move. Gunfights in a tense atmosphere are certainly part of this film. However, melodrama with comic and somewhat ironic reflections is primary in the story. Dialogues are simple and witty. The final calculation is very fast and exciting, but it does not represent a classic confrontation between good and bad guys in the Wild West.John Wayne as Sheriff John T. Chance is one sturdy and charming character. He has offered a confident performance. Mr. Wayne is a real macho with an ironic attitude and a clear objective in this film. Angie Dickinson as Feathers is a traveling entertainer. She is a chatty lady and sheriff's support. Two of them created a special story. Unfortunately, the chemistry between the two of them, was not good. Romance, except for some comic and sexy interruptions, was unconvincing.Dean Martin as Dude is a former sheriff's deputy and a local drunk. He leads the battle with self-esteem. His character is serious and credible. He is the element of surprise and healing in this film. Ricky Nelson as Colorado Ryan just did not get the right opportunity. A young gunman, who has swaggered with his guns and a guitar. Walter Brennan (Stumpy) as a crippled and garrulous deputy is truly funny.Perhaps, this is only a conservative response to "High Noon", but I think that this film is an enjoyable western fun with pretty unusual protagonists, who are resisting violence in the background of the story.

If I were to put one Western of this era in a time capsule as an example of this genre, RIO BRAVO would be the one I would put in there.This is the quintessential Western of the 40's & 50's with all the elements working wonderfully together to bring a very entertaining film to the screen.As with most of these Westerns, the place to start is JOHN WAYNE. He embodies this genre. Tough but fair. Hard but gentle. Willing to kill, but not liking it. Rio Bravo has Wayne at the top of his game. He is ably aided by a strong supporting cast - Dean Martin as the drunken deputy (he can act!), Ricky Nelson as the young kid learning life lessons from Wayne. Angie Dickinson, though about half Wayne's age at the time of filming, as the love interest and good ol' Walter Brennan as the sidekick, Stumpy.Throw in Howard Hawks strong direction and this movie is what it is. A WESTERN where the good guys take on the bad. No middle ground, no grey area. Just good versus bad.And darn entertaining.9 (out of 10) stars and you can take that to the Bank (of Marquis)
