    ★★★½

    Rio Bravo is in many ways a perfect movie but, I now realise, it’s undeniably deficient in the ‘having-Robert-Mitchum-in-it’ department.

    El Dorado addresses this, continues Hawks' collaboration with a baby James Caan and generally delivers the goods in a Western that is supremely my-shit. And yeah, Mitchum!  One of the most epic heels in cinema history and holy shit is it nice to see him play a good guy that you don’t want to fuck with.

    IMO, it pales in…

    ★★★

    Vibe and setting is exquisite. Like the Seargent York vibes at the beginning.

    Just a lot of shit that ultimately goes nowhere (Strawberry, Lonnie); really feels like the story should be told from Lexi's perspective.

    Loved Florida Project's ending, but don't think the equivalent beat is earned here.
