McQ

"McQ" was released in 1974 and marked John Wayne's attempt to transition into the contemporary cop thriller genre. Upon its initial release, the film received mixed reviews, with some critics praising Wayne's performance and the gritty urban setting, while others found the plot conventional and the film lacking the energy of other police dramas of the era. Over time, "McQ" has developed a modest following, particularly among fans of 1970s crime cinema and John Wayne enthusiasts. It is now often considered an underrated gem that offers a unique glimpse of Wayne in a rare non-Western role, rather than a dated relic. Its blend of classic tough-guy persona with 1970s urban grit has earned it a cult status among certain cinephiles, though it remains somewhat obscure in the broader public consciousness.
