The Max Sand backstory in Harold Robbins's trashy The Carpetbaggers (an enjoyable wallow onscreen in 1964) made for a solid Western vehicle for Steve McQueen at his peak. Nevada Smith is a revenge movie, but closer in spirit to The Bravados than a Death Wish-style exercise in nihilism. Young Max, offspring of a white father and Indian mother, sets out to avenge their slaughter by three villains. His odyssey includes spiritual re-parenting at several stages, most notably by canny gun dealer Jonas Cord (a swell character part for Brian Keith). The supporting cast will have you saying, "He's in it, too!" at regular intervals (from costars Karl Malden and Arthur Kennedy down to such incidental interlopers as L.Q. Jones and Strother Martin). Since director Henry Hathaway and cameraman Lucien Ballard couldn't frame a bad shot if their lives depended on it, it's a relief that this movie is finally available in a widescreen format. --Richard T. Jameson

 Forsaking Revenge October 2, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is an excellent western and a marvelous expose of the bigotry of an era when many regarded Indians with the same contempt that unborn babies are seen today. To kill one, even as brutally and violently as Max Sand/Steve McQueen's mother's dies, is to do nothing wrong. As the son of an Indian mother and a white father, McQueen bridges the gap between the less-than-human Indian and the fully human white, when he seeks revenge for his mother and father's slaying.
Because Max has been reared in the wilderness, at the beginning of this film he's a blank slate, understanding nothing about either violence or the evil that violence can do to a man's soul, even when undertaken to revenge a wrong. Through most of the film, he uses and discards good people in the pursuit of his revenge. Only with a Cajun woman, who dies because of him, does he begin to change and become the man he is in the climatic last scene.
Well worth watching, particularly while asking the question, "What would I have done if I'd been in his shoes?"

Hard to believe there was ever a fuss made over this film. I kept waiting for some great dramatic moment but it never came. Steve is wasted in this flic, barely making an impact despite his iconic status. This dvd was a waste of money, best just rent it.
Steve McQueen September 3, 2008
This is good Steve McQueen movie. Not well known and an early work of his but very good if you like old westerns
Great movie August 1, 2008

Great early Steve McQueen movie. I saw this at the theatre when I was very young and it is still one of my favorite. Great acting and supporting cast. If you are a fan of Steve, you need this one.
Another classic western August 9, 2007
Actually based on a character and about a chapter or two in a Harold Robbins novel "The Carpetbaggers" Steve stole the whole character and made an entirely new movie with him. Very well done another timeless classic. Worth seeing if you haven't.
