I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

The greatest movie ever made..!

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Tough Chicago cop Brannigan (John Wayne) goes to London to extradite an American criminal named Larkin (John Vernon) but the bad guy is seemingly kidnapped before Brannigan can get to him. That's not enough to deter our hero, though. He's determined to get his man, no matter how many British toes he has to step on to do so, including those of a stuffy police commander (Richard Attenborough).A fun 'fish out of water' movie for John Wayne; his second attempt to duplicate Clint Eastwood's success at moving from westerns to police thrillers. It's a better movie than Wayne's previous attempt at a Dirty Harry-style cop flick the year before, the underwhelming McQ. It moves quicker and there are some funny lines here and there. Plus everyone in the cast seems like they want to make this work, unlike McQ where nobody seemed that into it. Duke is clearly having a good time and appears more at ease with this mostly British cast than he did with many of his later films. Vets Attenborough, Vernon, and Mel Ferrer deliver as they usually do. Judy Geeson has a nice chemistry with Duke. Thankfully (given their age difference) the film never goes "there" beyond mild flirting. Lesley Anne Down plays a prostitute and Daniel Pilon is the hit man hired to kill Duke. It's not an exceptional film in any way but it is enjoyable, especially for Wayne fans who might like to see him in different surroundings than the western plateau or the battlefield.

A lot of comments here consider that BRANNIGAN would have been a better film if Clint Eastwood had been cast instead of John Wayne . You can see the thinking behind this as the opening scene has Big John kick a door open while grinning " knock knock " lulling the audience in to thinking they're going to be watching anti-heroism in action rather than good guys versus bad guys . As the story pans out we're treated to a trans-Atlantic tale of a street wise American cop trying to solve the problems of stiff upper lip British cops and one can't help thinking John Thaw might have better cast You see this movie has a feel very much like an episode of THE SWEENEY . It has a contrast between light hearted comic scenes and bleak violence seen in the legendary British show , but where as BRANNIGAN plays up to the comic scenes such as the punch up in the pub THE SWEENEY would have had slightly more sophisticated dialogue driven humour to it . But there's more to the film than this and THE SWEENEY aspects has extends to the likes of walk on parts of familiar British TV faces such as Glover . Henney and Booth , the sort of journeymen actors you'd expect to see in this type of media so much so that every time Wayne appears in a scene you're almost taken out of the film That said however BRANNIGAN is entertaining enough . It's certainly not a great movie but at the same time doesn't play up the the sometimes nasty and bitchy rivalry Britain and America has . If you love Regan and Carter beating up slags doing a blag then you will like this film if you don't take it too seriously

Not bad, but what makes it for me is when John Wayne commandeers a young man's new Capri to chase a contract killer in the ultimate gangster car of the time, a sixties Jaguar. I love it where he drives over Tower Bridge and totally wrecks the car, while the Jaguar gets away. I've waited a year for delivery, as Wayne steps out of the ruined Capri and the door falls off. Also good at the end is an appearance of a battered E Type with the killer Gorman behind the wheel, firing a machine pistol at Brannigan, who has to dodge bullets before shooting him right between the eyes. Otherwise a bit ho hum, though Tony Booth has a decent role and Sir Dickie is good as Brannigan's superior. However, for classic car nuts like me, the orange Capri makes it.

The movie does really try hard to walk a really thin line. It tries to be a an action movie, a comedy, a thriller, a cop movie. And it also tried to establish "Branningan" as a brand name. Like Callahan, but softer and "funnier".Well I can tell you that it doesn't work. I really tried to love the movie, but it's not possible. The effort is there and John Wayne tries, but he is never really as smooth as the character should be. Still the movie can be fun, although not as much as it would like to. While other movies did create cool characters without effort, this is just a decent try, to do the same, without the same result. Nice movie, but nothing that you need to buy (unless you're a huge John Wayne fan).
