I, John Wayne is a curious exploration of identity through the lens of obsession. The thriller unfolds at a measured pace, allowing the tension to build gradually, much like its protagonist’s unraveling psyche. The atmosphere is thick with unease, enhanced by practical effects that ground its surreal elements in a harsh reality. There’s this rawness in the performances, a tug-of-war between the search for authenticity and the hollow mimicry of these larger-than-life figures. It’s not your typical thriller, really. Instead, it meanders through the themes of masculinity and selfhood, leaving you pondering long after the credits roll. The film's distinctive narrative structure also adds layers to its storytelling, making it quite the talking point for anyone into character-driven tales.
