Amazon.com essential video:
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

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A FINE WESTERN DRAMA FROM CLINT EASTWOOD.
“Unforgiven” is one of the many entries into THE American film genre. According to Clint Eastwood, the film’s star and director, it “summarizes everything I feel about the western.” And it is a fine western film, filled with fascinating characters, exciting gunfights, and beautiful choreography. The story itself is fascinating, though it is a bit slow and uneven in some places.

Clint Eastwood gives what is arguably his best performance as Bill Munny, a former gunslinger and cold-blooded killer, … Read More

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - yummy junk food - enjoy!
As far as grandiose Westerns go, this is about my favorite - along with McCabe and Mrs. Miller. It’s a story of two old retired gunfighters, long reformed in their ways, stepping back into the ring for one last hurrah of badness - assassination for hire. The movie builds tension wonderfully, creates a magical vibe of reality (minus the rather cheesy acting of the young guy who plays the “Scofield Kid”), is full of flesh-and-blood, fallible characters with whom you can empathize and whom you can hate … Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Border Wars come to Wyoming
“Unforgiven” is a deconstruction of the classical Western. There are no ‘good guys’, only different degrees of wrong. The killings aren’t idealized. They are the filthy business that murder always is. Eastwood’s character, Muny, is a man with a troubled past. He was a border raider in Kansas and Missouri during the Civil War although we never learn which side he was on. All we know is that he was brutalized and committed atrocities. His wife, however, tried to set him straight and he makes his life … Read More

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - OVERrated, but still good
It’s all these guys in their later years so kind of goofy to see them as trying to be studs. Hackman is the best thing in the movie. BR continues to miss on the extras.
