Unforgiven

Unforgiven (1992) starring Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, Richard Harris. Directed by Clint Eastwood. In the 1870s, long-retired gunman William Munny (Eastwood) takes one last job because he needs the money. Together with his partner Ned (Freeman) he rides into the town of Big Whiskey, which is ruled by the sadistic hand of sheriff Little Bill (Hackman). In the end, Munny proves that he is still the killing machine he was years ago, before he cleaned up his act. This is a great movie, and a great Western, although it has been referred to as an anti-Western by some. There is certainly no glory in the killing. The film won four Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director. (English subtitles are available, but better are the closed captions.) Grade: A
