The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

So the time has come, I made it to my 3000th charted movie on my personal Flickchart account and therefore watched my milestone movie "Unforgiven", as chosen by the members of the Flickchart Facebook group in my poll from a few days back. Before I give up my quick review I will say that this movie would have been one of my next movies to watch anyway. Not because it was one of my most wanted to see movies, the Hitchcock choices were probably my preferred choices, but because I borrowed it from my local library for the purpose of seeing as many of the best of all time to say at least I have watched them. Anyway here is a quick review.I tried guys and gals, I really tried.The thing is Westerns would normally be my last choice in movie (even though it seems to be that I hate War movies even more). I can see where this movie can be seen as one of the best of its genre, especially in the last 30 years but still it wasn't for me. I have found that I do like westerns more than I thought I did as I have enjoyed a lot of them over my viewing since I have started my quest to see the best of the best I still need to have a western hook me early on for me to enjoy it and this one just didn't do it.Now go back 32 years from when this was made, put a "The" in front of the title and swap Clint Eastwood out for a gorgeous Audrey Hepburn and you will find a western I do really enjoy.Anyway since this was from a flickchart group I am going to end this in the Flickchart Letterboxd way by showing you all how the movie entered my chart.Unforgiven < Kept Women Unforgiven < The Book of Eli Unforgiven < The Road Unforgiven < Rancho Notorious Unforgiven > Children of the Corn 666 Unforgiven > Patton Unforgiven > Rango Unforgiven > Paranormal Asylum Unforgiven > Twelve Monkeys Unforgiven > Turbo-Charged Prelude Unforgiven > Scarlet StreetEntered at 2816/3000

Film Review: "Unforgiven" (1992)This in a slow mature manner received picture takes the classic western genre to heights of human struggle. The opening contains such a violence of a cowboy cutting up a prostitute's face that the feeling for vengeance lingers all the way through in the small town of Big Whiskey, Wyoming in the 1870s. Director Clint Eastwood gets engaged with an original screenplay by David Webb Peoples to transform the myth of commercialized 1950s U.S. American western with a character of mass murder William Munny, also performed by Eastwood, where every single beat down to mounting a horse turns into struggle of an elder man of experience, which becomes fascinating to witness even after several viewings. The suspense establishes through the main character's nemesis Little Bill Daggett, given face by actor Gene Hackman in a powerhouse performance of such viciousness in ruling this western small town as local sheriff that there is hardly an equal in motion picture history. Seduction, fist-to-foot beatings as leather strap whippings descending to cold-blood murder are no seldom seen kid of lost innocence. The town of Big Whiskey compares to a dictatorship. Boozing-up, whoring and mandatory disarmed visitor treatments fills the stark-contrasted visuals, especially in heavy rain night exteriors that when it comes the anxiously anticipated final confrontation between Little Bill and Will Munny, hired for murder by a bunch of prostitutes for a last job under the influence; me personally must sit on the edge of the seat to follow the release of an 105 minutes undercurrently summoned-up tension that gets elegantly concluded as it began with an abandoned pig farmer's house in the middle of a sunset horizon.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

Clint Eastwood directs and stars in this academy-award winning film. The film has a terrific cast with Morgan Freeman as his old buddy Ned, a perfectly cast Gene Hackman as a kick-butt Sheriff named Little Bill, and a cool cameo by Richard Harris as the assassin English Bob. Saul Rubinek from the recent Warehouse TV series plays an interesting writer character who just happens to be in the right spot at the right time.The local whorehouse gets in an uproar when one of their own gets disfigured by a local ruffian. they offer a reward to anyone who will come seek revenge for them. Revenge and money are powerful motives throughout Unforgiven. The story centers around Eastwood and Freeman getting recruited out of their now sedentary farmer lives to help the greater good of these women who have no one who will stand up for them as people.In the end, will Clint turn back to his old killer self? Will Ned be able to return to his stable friendly life? Will this young killer take over the job of killing people for a living that Clint wants to abandon for his family? Or will people end up doing what fate destines them to do?Unforgiven has great acting, with a super showdown between Hackman and Eastwood, as you'd expect. If you like this film, you should see the recent remake of the Magnificent Seven, which also has the theme of people in distress with no one to help them.Enjoy this masterpiece of Westerns. It's great to see Eastwood in his younger days deliver like only he can.
