Editorial Review:
A veteren rancher risks everything when he recruits schoolboys to man a dangerous cattle drive. One of John Wayne's solid twilight hits, co-starring Bruce Dern and Colleen Dewhurst. Year: 1972 Director: Mark Rydell Starring: John Wayne, Roscoe Lee Browne, Bruce Dern
Description of The Cowboys:
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
The Cowboys Reviews:
duke at his best 
2009-09-24 - the cowboys is one of john wayne's best if not the best highly recommend this movie.
Cowboys 
2009-09-23 - One of John Wayne's better movies in the twilight of his career along with the "Shootist". I enjoyed this flick when it first came out and it stands the test of time and continues to be a quality film.
Perfect!
2009-09-17 - This was one of the movies I watched with my dad over and over. I was so happy to find it on Amazon. The movie arrived very promptly, much sooner than I had expected. Movie arrived in perfect condition. I will not hesitate to purchase from Amazon or any Amazon seller. It's always a positive experience!
Not as family friendly as suggested! 
2009-08-09 - We are glad we didn't purchase this movie. We were taken back by all the cursing and swearing in the movie from early seventies! If you are offended by language, then do not purchase unless you have a program to take out all the profanity. The story line was great and the language did not add to it.
why the alternate ending???
2009-07-17 - Can anyone please tell me why the new release of this movie doesn't show the ending where the boys take the money back to john waynes characters wwife??? I have seen this ending before in this movie but in the releases you see today it isn't there???? And also if anyone knows where to buy the original ending please let me know. Thank You.
