Rio Bravo Reflection

1. Yes, there was a sheriff, a temptress, a shanty town and the stand-off.

2. When Burdette comes and wants his brother Joe from the jail.  There is no refusal and John, Dude, Stumpy, and Colorado have to defend against the onslaught of mercenaries Burdette sends at them.

3. John T. Chance - Tough sheriff, doesn't back down and has wise remarks
Dude  - The local drunk who ends up sober, first deputy
Stumpy -  The cripple who stays in the jail but ends up going outside, second deputy
Colorado - The new guy who is young and was part of Wheeler's crew, third deputy
Feathers - Temptress to John
Carlos - Owner of the local hotel and John's close friend.
Joe - The person in jail whose imprisonment means trouble for the whole town.
Burdette - Joe's brother who has a lot of money

4. The beginning might have felt slow for some people, but I thought it was a good exposition of the characters and the second half was fast-paced and full of action.

5. The action sequences were furious and fast.  They usually ended quickly except for the stand-off at the end.  A lot of tension before and during the shootouts.
