GOOD, EVIL AND ALL THAT

Today's NYTimes Best 1176 Film was Clint Eastwood's

Unforgiven (1992)Eastwood (two Oscars), Gene Hackman (Oscar), Morgan Freeman and Richard Harris.

This is one of those "end of the west" kind of films. A very good one. In the Eastwood style. Tough, and well, unforgiving.

The story is very tight knit and has a few sides to look at. A gem.

The acting is superb.

The wide open scenery of the exteriors is stunning.

All of a piece.

There is a great star turn with Richard Harris as a sort of break from the relentless pursuit of the evil doers.

I will give it a 4 out of Netflix5 as I would include this in my Eastwood film fest as well as my Gene Hackman retrospective to come up when I am out of this queue.
