Directed by: Clint Eastwood
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Morgan
Freeman, and Richard Harris
In Big Whiskey, a night at a brothel
goes terribly awry when two cowboys assault and cut up a whore. Her fellow prostitutes issue a $1,000 reward
for the individual(s) who captures and kills the two cowboys. William Munny (Clint Eastwood), a former
bandit with a vicious reputation as a brutal killer, joins forces with retired
cowboy Ned Logan (Morgan Freeman) to take down those two cowboys who violated
the prostitute in Big Whiskey and claim the $1,000 reward. Meanwhile, cowboy English Bob (Richard
Harris) has also arrived in Big Whiskey seeking that reward. None of them anticipated Little Bill Daggett
(Gene Hackman), the town sheriff and former gunfighter who hates having guns or
killers in his town.
For a long time, Unforgiven was considered the last great Western (granted it took
place decades after the peak of the genre).
It's a dark, somber movie that explores the murky waters of
morality. It's an authentic, gritty
vision of the Old West and how vicious it can truly be. With superb performances from a stellar cast,
it's the ultimate western. Frankly, Unforgiven is an awesome movie that has
earned a sober rating. Check this one
out as soon as you can!
