    “An Eye for an Eye” (1966) opens with a level of violence and sexual menace that promises a brutal, ugly revenge western, but the film never follows through on that tone. After the shocking setup, it settles into something much closer to a television western, creating a disconnect it never resolves. Slim Pickens, despite playing a man who commits horrific acts, is too likable and too casually human to feel truly threatening, even in his final moments, which robs the story of moral weight. Patrick Wayne’s character is difficult to watch as a sulky child acting out, slowing the film rather than deepening it. Most surprising is Robert Lansing’s protagonist, whose family’s destruction should fuel obsessive revenge but instead leads to a calm, almost fair-minded pursuit, draining the narrative of urgency. The film is competent and watchable, but its unwillingness to commit, either to the brutality it introduces or to a more profound emotional reckoning, keeps it from being more than an okay western that passes the time without leaving much behind.
