Review of Rio Conchos

Rio Conchos (1964)
7/10
3.5 out of 5 action rating

See it – This unheralded western classic is filled to the brim with rousing action. It has probably gone under the radar because it lacks a big name actor. But Richard Boone, Jim Brown, and Stuart Whitman are great in this old-fashioned, cowboys-on-a-mission movie in the same vein as "The Professionals." The mission in this one is to prevent Confederate desperadoes from selling repeating rifles to the Apaches. It's a little weird to see classic film villain Richard Boone as a good guy, but he carries the movie pretty well. The musical score is really good, and most of the movie has that "chase western" feel to it. But when things slow down at the end, you will only have enough time to take a deep breath before one of the best movie endings in the western genre.
