Brannigan

Chicago police detective Lieutenant John Brannigan is sent to London to extradite a notorious crime boss, who has been conveniently arrested for a minor offense. However, upon his arrival, Brannigan discovers that the gangster has been kidnapped. He must then navigate the unfamiliar streets of London to find the mobster and bring him to justice, all while dealing with the peculiar customs and a different approach to law enforcement in the UK.

Brannigan was met with mixed to negative reviews from critics, though it found a more appreciative audience among fans of action films and John Wayne's later work. While some praised its energetic pace and Wayne's enduring star power, others found the plot predictable and the humor dated. It is generally considered a late-career, somewhat formulaic entry for Wayne.

• John Wayne delivers his signature tough-guy persona, which appeals to his established fanbase.

• The fish-out-of-water scenario in London provides some lighthearted moments.

• The action sequences are serviceable but lack originality, and the plot is rather straightforward.

Google audience: Audience reviews are generally lukewarm, with many appreciating John Wayne's presence but finding the film to be a rather typical and uninspired action-comedy of its era.

John Wayne's distinctive limp in the film was not an act; he had injured his leg during the filming of 'The Cowboys' and it had not fully healed.
