Reviews for Chisum
Like other Wayne movies, there's complete identification between reel and real life: Chisum is described as "fat wealthy, tough, trusting, stubborn, generous, and sentimental," and he favors competitive, laissey-faire (Republican version) capitalism.
A stylish big-budget rousing range war Western that is a gimmicky mix of myth and hokum.
