Movie Reviews of Unforgiven

Movie Review: A Very Good Western
Summary: 4 Stars

Clint Eastwood directs and starts in 'Unforgiven' He does a great job with both roles.

Clint plays William Munny, a long retired gunfighter. Munny settled down years earlier with his wife and children. Times are rough. Now widowed, he is struggling to get by and raise his two kids. In the midst of this, the son of one of his old cohorts finds him and lets him know about a large reward for killing two thugs who disfigured a prostitute. The other women who she works with pooled their money to buy some justice since the sheriff, Little Bill (Gene Hackman) took virtually no action.

Munny wants to involve his old partner Ned (Morgan Freeman). Soon the three ride off toward Big Whiskey, Wyoming to track down the malefactors. A lot of action including a considerable amount of violence follows.

This is a very well done western that will likely be enjoyed by all fans of that genre.

Summary of Unforgiven

Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman play retired, down-on-their-luck outlaws who pick up their guns one last time to collect a bounty offered by the vengeful prostitutes of the remote Wyoming town of Big Whiskey. Richard Harris is an ill-fated interloper, a colorful killer-for-hire called English Bob. And Best Supporting Actor Oscar winner Gene Hackman is the sly and brutal local sheriff whose brand of law enforcement ranges from unconventional to ruthless.

Production Notes
Theatrical Trailer


Winner of four Academy Awards, including best picture, director, supporting actor, and best editing, Clint Eastwood's 1992 masterpiece stands as one of the greatest and most thematically compelling Westerns ever made. "The movie summarized everything I feel about the Western," said Eastwood at the time of the film's release. "The moral is the concern with gunplay." To illustrate that theme, Eastwood stars as a retired, once-ruthless killer-turned-gentle-widower and hog farmer. He accepts one last bounty-hunter mission--to find the men who brutalized a prostitute--to help support his two motherless children. Joined by his former partner (Morgan Freeman) and a cocky greenhorn (Jaimz Woolvett), he takes on a corrupt sheriff (Oscar winner Gene Hackman) in a showdown that makes the viewer feel the full impact of violence and its corruption of the soul. Dedicated to Eastwood's mentors Sergio Leone and Don Siegel and featuring a colorful role for Richard Harris, it's arguably Eastwood's crowning directorial achievement. --Jeff Shannon
