This movie stands the test of time as a western classic examining universal themes, up there with more touted flicks like Shane, and the Searchers. The brutal murder of his parents begins the metamorphosis of Steve McQueen's character, from an innocent boy into an instrument of revenge. His hatred grows more resolute, even as several people are kind to him along the way, and he falls in love, twice. An example of the lengths he goes to is getting himself thrown into prison to gain access to one of his victims. Despite the humanity he encounters on his journey to catch the killers, will he allow hatred to consume his life? Though coming from different places, McQueen, and Carl Malden, as the leader of the gang he is after, both give vintage powerful performances. A young Suzanne Pleshette is gorgeous. Brian Keith is simply great. A thinking man's Kill Bill.
