The Worst Film Ever

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Blistering performances.

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 gets to play Clint Eastwood in a film directed by Clint Eastwood. He gets to be Clint Eastwood during the 90's, a slower less dynamic version of him, with a bit more maturity and humility, and a more flawed vulnerable iteration of the Eastwood character, therefor more realistic. The whole film is really a buildup where the story acts as a framework for his returning to form as the mighty Clint Eastwood gradually throughout the development, the ultimate Western badass with a grin, tough guy one-liners and an attitude every guy secretly wishes he could adopt for just a single situation in their life, once.Morgan Freeman helps the film's cause, so does Hackman and Eastwood does as well as always himself, and in this sort of film the acting and the actors' physiques are at the forefront and essential. The story is actually pretty well told, it's not profound but it's got a couple of relevant life lessons. It's a little long for its own good though, with some slower parts especially in the first half. Two hours and ten minutes for this story is probably a bit too much, although it isn't quite as vacant as some long films are. This has pretty good content and develops into a few scenes interesting in their own right, and relevant sub-pots.All in all, it does seem like a film made by a Western buff a bit infatuated with the style and its atmosphere and details, but it's well made enough that it's a pretty good watch for the more casual movie-goer not necessarily obsessed with the genre.7/10.

A group of prostitutes in a brothel of a small town is unsatisfied with the punishment suffered by the two men that cut up the face of one of them, so they decide to take matters at hand by offering one thousand dollars to whoever can kill them. An aged assassin, along with a newbie and an old partner, answers the call, but finds himself fighting with his own past as well as the sadistic sheriff of the town. Eastwood's western is among the masterpieces of the genre, with its great use of themes and emphasis on the dark character backgrounds masterly interpreted by the excellent cast. A great screenplay that plays a lot with the genre and make it seem a haunting as a noir placed withing the boundaries of the western genre and a great work of photography add to the overall value of the film.

The directing and editing of the film are amazing. The story is told in extremely fast pace, with full-bodied characters depicted along the way. The performances of Eastwood, Hackman, Freeman and Woolvett are particularly noteworthy. The final action scene that Will kills Little Bill is especially breathtaking. The audience keep wondering if Will will be shot by the people in the town.
