The style of filmmaking of "Big Jim McLain" may be a little dated but its message is not. The movie looks great. The locations are beautiful. John Wayne gives a nice performance. The supporting cast also does a nice job. There are some moments that don't work so well but "Big Jim McLain" has a ton of goodwill going for it. I'm a fan fan of John Wayne. I watch his movies all of the time. I don't watch this one as much as some of his other movies. But when I sit down to watch "Big Jim McLain", I enjoy it.
