Review of Nevada Smith

I really don't watch western movies in last decades. There is barely anything real good among new ones, and with this I just hoped that it could be great, was attracted by cast - Steve McQueen, Janet Margolin - always adorable, Karl Malden, Martin Landau ... And start was fine, even if I wandered why they call him boy, Indian . After about some 40-50 minutes it looked that will be more than just some revenge story. And it was, but not enough. Surely, Western is not where some deep life thoughts come in, but some parts were really undeveloped, end that was mostly in last 40 minutes. But first hour was fine. Worst part was that joining of gang at the end - some actions were really not logical, especially by main villain. Many complained here about miscast, and indeed, strange idea to cast some about 40 years, blonde actor to play some 17 years, half Indian. Janet Margolin was at least OK for it. Also, hard to believe that they did not recognize each other.

All in all, I was pretty disappointed at end, too much strange behavior, lack of logic. Sorry, only 5/10.
