Unforgiven (1992). Damn, this movie is deep.

It just gets worse, and worse, and worse...and you learn more and more, and it's all so incredibly horrific and raw. Nothing about the situation the characters are in is amazing/spectacular as you hear in the wild wild west, it's just...traumatizing, for everyone in the town and everyone involved and Clint Eastwood does such a great job of conveying the old timer outlaw doing one last job. At first he just seems like a weak old man and then he turns out to be something completely different. Really brilliant acting from him.

"I'll see you in hell, Willie Money!"

"...yeah."

What a great movie.

Agreed.  I don't like most Westerns, but I like this one.  It kind of steals from the original "True Grit" with John Wayne.  This tired, old lawman thing.

A masterful meditation on the nature of violence

Clint Eastwood masterfully deconstructs the American western with this stirring epic. Formerly a star of such westerns, Eastwood confronts the genre's hallmarks and asks us to consider moral ambiguity in relation to violence. There is no obvious good and evil, only a gray area in which this film carves out its rich story. Eastwood and Hackman shine in their roles as the morally ambiguous focal points. For anyone who considers westerns to be shoot-em-ups lacking any real substance, consider this touching, complex look at the Old West. Eastwood closes the book on the western as the 20th century knew it in supreme fashion

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so
