Rooster Cogburn is top of the line entertainment of the "old school" of movie making.
Every character, every scene and every piece of dialog is top drawer story telling at it's best. Suffice it to say, Rooster Cogburn / The Shootist are fitting movies to end John Wayne's career...a career that defined the Western male lead.
Wayne's character epitomizes the raw American Individual Spirit that takes on the task because it is noble and right, regardless of the odds.
No other actors other than Wayne and Hepburn could carry this movie...a movie made in the twilight of each of their careers. One can't help but put yourself in the movie each time you watch it and wish Wayne & Hepburn were still there...both of them will be greatly missed!
score 10/10
