Unforgiven (1992) (4K Ultra HD)

Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven (1992) is more than just a revisionist Western—it’s a meditation on violence, redemption, and the myths we tell ourselves about both. The acting is absolutely incredible across the board, but Gene Hackman’s performance as Little Bill Daggett is on another level. His presence is both commanding and terrifying, and the jailhouse scene with the English assassin (Richard Harris) and the writer is chilling—an engrossing masterclass in control and menace. With Hackman’s recent passing, revisiting his work only reinforces just how legendary his career truly was. Morgan Freeman delivers a phenomenal supporting performance, and one moment in particular stands out. During the shootout, with nothing but his eyes, he conveys the haunting realization that this once-feared killer can no longer bring himself to take a life. It’s an understated but powerful piece of acting—chef’s kiss. Then there’s Eastwood himself. At the start, he’s like a distant storm cloud—present but unthreatening. But by the climax, he transforms into something unstoppable, a force of nature beyond the grasp of heaven or hell. I can’t help but wonder how much more impactful Unforgiven would have been had I first watched Eastwood’s earlier Westerns. With that context, would William Munny feel like the same lone gunfighter from his prime, now broken by time and regret? Would his quiet, defeated presence at the beginning feel even heavier, knowing what he once was? Either way, by the end, there’s no mistaking what he’s become. Unforgiven strips away the romanticism of the Western and leaves us with something raw, brutal, and deeply human. It’s an unforgettable film, and I’m glad I finally checked it off my watchlist.

Classic movie. Definitely worth a watch!

Good movie. A little too rough for my taste.

interesting movie, thanks

This is the best of Eastwood's westerns. This is the first one that I didn't feel like I was watching Dirty Harry's great grandfather or the return of the Highplains Drifter. Of course that is my opinion and I'm entitled to it. In this movie Eastwood has gotten the period mostly correct, not only in clothing but speech and how people felt, reacted, to and about things in the era in which the film takes place. The ever increasing injuries to the Prostitute as the story gets told over and over, I think this was common at a time when word of mouth was the only way news traveled. I believe it to be true that a lot of bad men were bad men when they were drunk and maybe not quite so bad when they weren't. I think very few movies have ever touched on how much alcohol played a part in making brave men. Not only the bad ones but the good ones too. This movie deals with the act of killing someone like few westerns before it ever had. It's not glamourous to kill someone as Jaimz Woolvett's charactor discovered. Eastwood's portrayal of Will Munny is, I think one of his best. Gene Hackman's "Little Bill" charactor is a far account of how a lot of so called lawmen really were, and Hackman manages to really make you dislike "Little Bill". I'm a stickler for period correctness and it often means a lot to me when a director takes the time to get things as right as they can make it. Eastwood did a really great job on this film, "getting things right" not just the period but his actors as well. Just so you know this is not a movie for young'ens or those offended by off color language.

I’ve always loved this movie, probably as it was the first Eastwood movie I saw shortly after it was released (rather than my father or grandfather watching older movies he was in). It’s beautifully shot, the acting is incredible, and the story has been parodied and copied. Eastwood both stars and directs. And it’s got some of the best dialogue in cinema: “hell of a thing, killing a man… taking all he has, and all he’ll ever have.” Not to mention Gene Hackman solidifying himself as one of the greatest actors of all time as well. This was a no brainer to own on 4kUHD.

clint eastwood is the best

This is more like it, better sound and picture quality. A great Clint Eastwood movie and one of Gene Hackman's better roles. The 2K Blu Ray only had Dolby Digital sound, now this wonderful 4K release has DTS HD MASTER AUDIO 5.1 sound and it makes a big difference. One great western movie to have.

Un muy buen western, con una calidad de imagen muuy buena, tal vez un poco más obscura de lo que me gustaría pero no para calificarla mal.

Doblaje y subtítulos al español. Llegó en excelente estado. La calidad mejora con respecto al DVD.

Soy fan del legendario Clint Eastwood y cuando supe que Warner Brothers había restaurado en formato 4K Ultra HD su clásico de 1992 "Unforgiven", la compre de inmediato. Se ve espectacular, mejor que nunca, con una calidad de imagen fuera de serie, él único inconveniente es que ya no traía el slipcover de colección. Llegó rápido y en perfectas condiciones.
