Unforgiven
Directed by Clint Eastwood2h 10m1992
William Munny is a retired, once-ruthless killer turned gentle widower and hog farmer. To help support his two motherless children, he accepts one last bounty-hunter mission to find the men who brutalized a prostitute. Joined by his former partner and a cocky greenhorn, he takes on a corrupt sheriff.
Our read: Unforgiven (1992) reads as a heavy, measured, grounded western entry — measured in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
Heavy, measured, measured western, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, cold.
