Entertainment Weekly by Chris Nashawaty
Still, with everything working against him, the Duke manages to be an old-school badass and stick it to those fancypants Brits.
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
Brannigan isn't great, but it's a wellcrafted action movie and, besides, it's got John Wayne in it.
