Review of Unforgiven (1992) by Seth B — 07 Dec 2012
''It's a hell of a thing, killin' a man. Take away all he's got, and all he's ever gonna have.''.
Retired Old West gunslinger William Munny reluctantly takes on one last job, with the help of his old partner and a young man.
Clint Eastwood: William 'Bill' Munny.
Gene Hackman: Little Bill Daggett.
Morgan Freeman: Ned Logan.
Richard Harris: English Bob.
Another Western Classic Unforgiven can only be summed up by the man himself Clint Eastwood: ''The Movie summarized everything I feel about the Western, The Moral is the concern with gunplay.''.
Clint Eastwood performance is so accurate this man knows what he's doing. Westerns his forte. He directs and stars in this masterpiece.
Morgan Freeman also shines brightly.
Gene Hackman a cool and magnificent villain who's ruthless, aggressive and unpredictable.
My fave has to be Richard Harris as English Bob. He cracked me up everytime.
Theres a gritty realism and seriousness to the film but the flip side to the coin is that it has humour also. There's some graphic violence and tense scenes that have to be marveled at.
The landscapes and country are beautifully realized and Clint has made the film glow with an old timeless feel. It feels older than it's 1992 release.
The showdown in the saloon is of the chart quality, Clint completely goes off the rail nuts spiraling back into his old former self. It's mesmerizing to watch.
A Western Classic from the Master Eastwood.
''I don't deserve this... to die like this. I was building a house.''.
''Deserve's got nothin' to do with it.''.

''I'll see you in hell, William Munny.''.
''Yeah.''.
