Review of Unforgiven (1992) by Matt M — 10 Jan 2014
A group of prostitutes in a brothel of a small town is unsatisfied with the punishment suffered by the two men that cut up the face of one of them, so they decide to take matters at hand by offering one thousand dollars to whoever can kill them.
An aged assassin, along with a newbie and an old partner, answers the call, but finds himself fighting with his own past as well as the sadistic sheriff of the town. Eastwood's western is among the masterpieces of the genre, with its great use of themes and emphasis on the dark character backgrounds masterly interpreted by the excellent cast.
A great screenplay that plays a lot with the genre and make it seem a haunting as a noir placed withing the boundaries of the western genre and a great work of photography add to the overall value of the film.
