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

This movie not only incorporates an array of wonderful actors, its a remarkable story. Not exactly a family disney movie but none the less a wonderful Clint Eastwood movie.
Clint Eastwood's Best January 31, 2010

Clint Eastwood has always been the king of westerns, and always will be. That being said "Unforgiven" is a knockout. The movie is different from other westerns in the sense that it doesn't have lots of action and eye-popping gunfights. "Unforgiven" sets out to show the true, grim nature of violence and makes for a much darker, more realistic movie. Gene Hackman turns in an incredible performance. He easily establishes his character as an evil man without having to really do anything. Unforgiven is special to me because it adds a much needed human element to the western, as well as more depth. As for the product itself? The only real reason to get the two disc edition of Unforgiven is because it has been digitally remastered. The special features are just a bunch of documentaries. I do recommend getting this edition nonetheless because the picture quality is a huge improvement

This is a great film that transfers to blu-ray excellently. The film itself is a wonderfully paced deconstruction of the Western genre. Eastwood as always simmers when he's on screen along with his frequent co-conspirator Morgan Freeman. Eastwood's character William Munny could easily have been an unpleasant and unlikeable character due to his shady past, but when pitched against Gene Hackman's excellent sherrif he shines as a beacon of morality.
The last twenty minutes of the film are absolutely excellent as Clint faces down the bad guys and allows the viewer to know exactly what kind of man they're rooting for.
A modern day masterpiece.

This is a great addition to Eastwood's video collection. Some great real life issues presented, so it's entertaining as well as educational.
