Unforgiven [Blu-ray] [1992] [Region Free]

A great summary Clint Eastward Western
Promptly delivered. Not your average Clint Eastward western. Almost an anti-hero for most of the film. You just wonder whether he's going to be drawn into fulfilling the task he takes on, whilst wrestling with the conflict of his past and the memory of his wife and her influence on him. A summary perhaps of all the rôles he has played in Westerns. You keep wondering how good will triumph over bad throughout and whether it finally does. Gene Hackman fully deserved his Oscar Nomination for his Supporting Actor rôle. There can rarely be a better enactment of a vindictive person playing the part of an unscrupulous lawman whilst leading a bunch of cowardly deputies; Stockburn (Pale Rider) was an angel by comparison. I'll wager Richard Harris didn't want another cameo part like this one. Always slow in the build up, as per usual, with Eastward direction and some magnificent backdrops, with classical Eastward foregrounds. Eastward officionados will love this one. I did!!

*Will: I see you still have that Spencer rifle, huh? Ned: Yeah. And I can still knock the eye out of a bird flying, too.*
The picture quality and new restored dts sound will blow your mind--on both the 4k and newly restored brand new blu ray--included in this package.Simply outstanding.

An essential 4k bluray
There aren't too many classic movies out on 4k bluray. Thats a great pity as the format is truly brilliant.Unforgiven is probably the last great Western that will ever be made. Times change and there just aren't the actors around anymore that can make a classic Western.There's not much else to say about the movie as its all been saidPicture quality is outstanding with superb hdr. Colours are deep, lush and accurate. The scenery is breathtaking.Unforgiven is an absolutely essential 4k bluray.

Not a Step Up from the Blu Ray
One of my favourite westerns. I have always loved the cinematography on this film; a desolate but breathtaking expanse which adds to the movie's tone. Alas, this transfer does no more for the source material than the blu ray. Not really worth it.

The best ever Western?
Superb Western which won several Oscars including one fully deserved for director Clint Eastwood who also plays the leading role alongside the excellent Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman and Richard Harris. Had recorded it from tv some years ago but that was poor quality and the brilliant photography deserves nothing but the best. This provides it.

Great movie if you like your western tough and CGI ...
Great movie if you like your western tough and CGI free. Clint is really powerful, Gene Hackman and Richard Harris superb. I've watched it 3 times now, so I'll let it rest for a few years. The "Duck of Death" make me laugh, Gene Hackman is so good.

It is O.K not his best film
Not his best film but O.K

Violence is terrifying
Eastwood's stories are always interesting and like he says in the extras all the characters in Unforgiven change and change a lot throughout the movie
