Critics consensus

“Brannigan unsuccessfully attempts to blend John Wayne's roughhouse American persona with British crime caper flair, offering stale action and touristy London backdrops that leave it feeling more flat than fun.”

Brannigan is a showcase for Wayne. The only difference between it and an instalment of Mannix is that the movie is longer and shot in widescreen.

The John Wayne charisma and mystique somehow manage -- as always -- to make the escapism ride acceptable.

Always a pleasure to see John Wayne, even out of the saddle. Not that Brannigan... gives old reliable much scope... honour if not plausibility, is decently satisfied.

It may be unpatriotic to leave a John Wayne movie feeling a bit sorry for one of the bad guys, but in this case it may be justified.
