Unforgiven

Unforgiven turned out to be an awesome movie. It was made in the early 90's and stars Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, and Morgan Freeman. The story starts out in Wyoming in the 1880's at a brothel, with two men cutting and beating a prostitute. They get a weak punishment, and the upset prostitutes put money for the killing of them. One assassin, English Bob, shows up and his brutally beat up and sent out of town by the Sheriff Little Bill (Hackman). Back in Texas a young assassin shows up at Bill Munny's (Clint Eastwood) door. He asks him to join him to kill the two. Munny is hesitant to leave his kids alone and says his deceased wife "cured" him of evil. But he agrees and takes his buddy Ned (Freeman). They end up chasing the cowboys, and kill one with a rifle. Ned realizes he can't kill anymore and decides to head back. Along the way Little Bill captures him, and tortures him to death. Munny and the kid kill the other cowboy, and the kid can't take anymore. He decides to leave, and Bill goes and kills Little Bill and his companions in his old fashion. The story ends telling us Munny fled Texas with his kids and went to San Francisco. It is an awesome movie, and an even greater western.
