Unforgiven (1992) ****1/2

Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven (1992) is an all-time great revisionist western that, thanks to David Peoples's unforgiving script, deftly portrays a story surrounding the nature of violence, vengeance, guilt by association, and moral ambiguity. The acting, cinematography, pacing, and production design all perfectly compliment the bleak gritty mood of the film. Unforgiven never shies from showing the true nature of 'The Old West" and breaking down the myth of "true" heroes—revealing the cold hatred that can lie in any human being's heart.
