Reviews

  • Quite easily the finest western ever made and very close to the greatest film ever made. It won loads of Oscars and other film awards in 1993, but it still should have won more. Talk about a man at his peak ? This has Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Richard Harris, Morgan Freeman a…

  • That's right. I'm just a fella now. I ain't no different than anyone else no more. William Munny (Clint Eastwood taking the lead and directing the piece) is an old and retired gunman whose past misdemeanours would make the devil himself seem tame. Widowed and struggling to raise…

  • It's good! I have to say I'm a little surprised to see just how highly regarded this is, given I had - somehow, evidently - never even heard of it until scheduling this Clint Eastwood watchathon of mine - all of the latter's other well received I had/have heard of, but not this.…

  • When “Delilah” (Anna Thomson) rather foolishly makes light of the size of her client’s pecker, he turns to a bit of slice and dice that leaves her disfigured. The sheriff “Little Bill” (Gene Hackman) is no stranger to his imposing his own form of restitution on perpetrators, but…
