Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman play retired, down-on-their-luck outlaws who pick up their guns one last time to collect a bounty offered by the vengeful prostitutes of the remote Wyoming town of Big Whiskey.

And Best Supporting Actor Oscar winner Gene Hackman is the sly and brutal local sheriff whose brand of law enforcement ranges from unconventional to ruthless.

Winner of four Academy Awards, including best picture, director, supporting actor, and best editing, Clint Eastwood's 1992 masterpiece stands as one of the greatest and most thematically compelling Westerns ever made. "The movie summarized everything I feel about the Western," said Eastwood at the time of the film's release. "The moral is the concern with gunplay." To illustrate that theme, Eastwood stars as a retired, once-ruthless killer-turned-gentle-widower and hog farmer. He accepts one last bounty-hunter mission--to find the men who brutalized a prostitute--to help support his two motherless children. Joined by his former partner (Morgan Freeman) and a cocky greenhorn (Jaimz Woolvett), he takes on a corrupt sheriff (Oscar winner Gene Hackman) in a showdown that makes the viewer feel the full impact of violence and its corruption of the soul. Dedicated to Eastwood's mentors Sergio Leone and Don Siegel and featuring a colorful role for Richard Harris, it's arguably Eastwood's crowning directorial achievement. The digital video disc offers standard and widescreen formats and a remastered soundtrack. --Jeff Shannon
Unforgiven.Review date: 2010-07-09 Rating: 10 out of 10I am not use to this message coming from Clint,the Anti-Violence and such, and While I am not for violence I do prefer a Western have it and an action movie as well, not excessive that being said, I thought Clint Directed and starred in a Great Movie even if it had a message about downplaying the glorification of the wild west,I still Love The Good,The Bad,and The Ugly above all else and the Man with no name movies.
ReviewsThe DVD - UnforgivenReview date: 2010-07-07 Rating: 10 out of 10I bought this dvd as a gift for my dad. He is really enjoying it and I will order any other dvd he may want. Fast service and a great product- ThanksGreat movie!!Review date: 2010-06-29 Rating: 10 out of 10Great movie!! Great service and received it in less time than expected (overseas serving).Academy Award Winner?Review date: 2010-06-21 Rating: 2 out of 10Was this the only film made in 1992? Over-long, over-written, over-acted, and just plain over-wrought. "Did Pa used to kill folks?" Yes little one, everything except the green light on this over-blown horse opera.Movie: 4 Stars, Blu Ray: 2 StarsReview date: 2010-06-20 Rating: 4 out of 10Let's get this out of the way: Eastwood's riff on the western is a great film, with fantastic characters, a great story, and beautiful cinematography. But this transfer of it has a horrible brown sheen to it that doesn't ruin the experience but definitely doesn't justify buying it on blu-ray. I'm pretty sure the DVD I watched of it originally looked better than this transfer. If that doesn't bug you, fair enough, but buyer beware.
