For years my parents have been trying to get me to go back and watch a John Wayne movie called "The Searchers."

I started it last night and after finishing it I can say that this 50 plus year old movie holds up pretty well over the years as far as overall plot goes.

Honestly, how many old movies especially westerns can you say that about?
Some of the dialog was a little cheesy, but the story is fantastic.

It's a great journey about a bitter Civil War vet (Wayne) and a part Native American boy who chase after the Comanche Tribe that brutally murdered and kidnapped his family.

Rarely does an old Western allow such brutality of rape, murder, and kidnapping.

Awesome plot, pure John Wayne, and well worth my 2 hours.
