| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzOverlong, dull and labored follow-up to Harold Robbins' The Carpetbaggers. |

| User ReviewMuffin MOne of the best western films ever made..A movie that defines revenge as a holy matter. |
| User Review...so they call me: 'TopherSteve McQueen, a.k.a. 'tha man', stars in western revenge story. But don't be fooled, its not your typical western nor your typical revenge flick. This is very intense and very touching. A moving story, very well adapted (from the novel), directed, and acted. Its certainly not cliche--in fact, quite on the contrarey. The movie presents a unique view and the story takes a lot of intricate twists and turns. Its a touching and emotional journey that doesn't lack on the action. Definetly an overlooked classic--a diamond in the ruff. |

| User ReviewAndy FSteve McQueen makes a whole movie out of a minor supporting character in The Carpet Baggers. Played in the film version by Allan Ladd if memory serves. |
