Storyline
Cahill U.S. Marshal, J.D. Cahill is the toughest U.S. Marshal they’ve got, just the sound of his name makes bad guys stop in their tracks, so when his two young boys want to get his attention they decide to rob a bank. They end up getting more than they bargained for.
Solid Action Picture
Cahill U.S. Marshal, While US Marshall Cahill (John Wayne) hunts outlaws, his wayward sons get in way over their heads when the supposedly safe, after-hours bank robbery plan with slimy saddle-tramp George Kennedy turns into a bloodbath. When Cahill returns and ends up arresting innocent men, it sends the two youths scrambling to do the right thing.
Though one of Wayne’s later, less acclaimed movies, there’s still a whole lot of fun to be had in this well produced, action filled morality tale.
Kennedy is in truly fine form here as a truly vile bad guy, while Neville Brand, who’s usually typecast as despicable villains and psychopathic cretins, delivers a standout, heroic performance as Wayne’s halfbreed sidekick.
The tense, bloody climax is pretty good.
