Review of Unforgiven (1992) by Ben B — 27 Jul 2014
Directed by and starring Clint Eastwood, 'Unforgiven' shows that westerns can still be more than relevant in the modern age of cinema. It's a tale of redemption and it shows that life does not have to end when you are young.
Will Munny (Eastwood) is a former killer who was put right by his late wife. However, after he receives a mission that will help his financial situation, Munny goes back to his old ways, even if it is difficult and morally wrong.
'Unforgiven' does an excellent job capturing the human side of westerns and it shows what consequences come with taking a life. Other gems include great performances by Morgan Freeman and Gene Hackman.
But Clint Eastwood is the true star here and you will be taken for a sad, suspenseful, and dark ride with his character Will Munny. If you don't like 'Unforgiven,' you don't like westerns.
