Unforgiven - 6 stars out of 10
"Unforgiven" was good but I approached it with a lot of skepticism, knowing that it beat "A Few Good Men" for the best picture Academy Award. Unfortunately, its inability to match the entertainment value and storytelling of A Few Good Men left me disappointed. The acting in this film is high quality (how can you go wrong with Eastwood, Freeman, and Hackman in one film) but I found the story to be slow and uneventful. I love Gene Hackman and he is one of my favorite villains, but this definitely was not his best role and I don't understand how he beat Jack Nicholson for the best supporting actor Oscar. Eastwood is one of my favorite directors but this can't compare to Mystic River and Million Dollar Baby.
