"8.2/10"

One of Eastwood's best

“Clint Eastwood has turned in some great performances in some great movies, these include Unforgiven, Dirty Harry, and this film The Outlaw Josey Wales. Eastwood himself gives one of his finest performances here, and he is well served by a very talented cast who turn in equally impressive performances and also the film is superbly directed.

The film looks wonderful, the production values are very meticulous and the film is beautifully shot. Jerry Fielding's score compliments the film perfectly, and the dialogue and characters are all memorable.

I must also give credit to the story. The story here for me has very rare a dull moment and, from the shocking opening sequence to the ending that appeals to me every time I see this film, is swiftly told.

Overall, great” read more

As far as I’m concerned, it is not actually the best Western he has directed and 'Unforgiven' remains easily his best in my opinion. In fact, to be honest, I frankly failed to see what so great about the damned thing but I have to admit that it was still quite enjoyable. Basically, you had all "
