Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: 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

Customer Reviews
A top Western--one of the Duke's best.
This is one of John Wayne's best pictures. Roscoe Lee Brown is terrific in his part, and each of the young cowboys does a fine job. I have seen an anecdote that Bruce Dern had some trouble getting good parts after doing the thoroughly bad/mean villain in this movie. Well, he did play the part 110% and even a peaceful person like myself was real happy that he got his just desserts when his number came up.
Get this video quick. You're "burning daylight" if you wait...

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!

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 by this turn of events, but is does help make the main bad guy out to be much meaner than most since he guns the Duke down in cold blood.
Apparently, the movie was pretty controversial when released, I can see why given some of the tough love that the Duke shows the boys. I have a feeling that this movie still has a place in a young man's life, despite some of the violence it invokes. If you are a John Wayne fan, then you should see this movie. It is very interesting with some tough lessons from a hard time.
