I found myself watching The Shootist a lot. A lot going on there. Great story line. At that point, John Wayne had been diagnosed with cancer in real life (which adds something to it for me). The beginning has a montage of older John Wayne flick scenes which suggests The Shootist is a “wrap up”. Then, of course, his final scene has him going out the only way the Duke could: With his boots on.
All that said, I’ve been watching the John Wick series lately. Good acting. Great choreography. Doesn’t insult by suggesting it’s realistic. Entertaining.
