Unforgiven - 1992 - 4 Stars

Actors: Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman
Director: Clint Eastwood

When we leave behind an old habit or even a way of life, does it remain a part of us? How much of a part of us is it? And what would it take to reawaken that part?

Unforgiven asks these questions and answers them in a roundabout fashion. Great performances from Hackman and Eastwood, as well as all of the women in the film. It's this portrayal of women that tells us Unforgiven is not a typical Western, which is perhaps why it won an Oscar.
