Clint eastwood's unforgiven is a good mordern western that you want to watch on a sunday afternoon when i'ts poring with rain.It's an exciting classic that won four 1992 academy awards including best picture and best director.

Advantages: great story. great acting Disadvantages: none i know of
...This film is gripping from the moment you press play right through until the credits run. Being honest Clint Eastwood is one of my childhood hero's. To me he was invincible, so when the unforgiven begins and you see Mr Eastwood as a run down pig farmer, to me it was an unwelcome shock. As the film develops though you understand that it is a very necessary part of the film. The movie is packed with stars including Gene Hackman and Morgan freeman, each and every one of them giving an outstanding performance. I have watched this film over and over. I'm not going to describe the whole film scene by scene. This is definitely a movie you need to watch for yourself. You won't regret taking the time to enjoy this fantastic movie....
