I have to disagree with the CT assessment of the language used; I don't think it bordered on parody at all - rather, I think it provided the impetus for some of the more humorous moments in the film as Eastwood develops a relationship with a family that became more important to him than his own.<br /><br />The mature Eastwood is more my speed, and I think "Unforgiven" is one of the finest westerns of any generation. This in my opinion far surpasses that, and is a great morality lesson on overcoming barriers of age and race to form genuine and lasting friendships. I'd have to rank it at 9 or 9.5 stars - outstanding.NoVA Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661990626635939447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-41342082597246180392009-07-26T00:14:35.126-05:002009-07-26T00:14:35.126-05:00I was expecting an urban warfare movie.

I have also read a few other reviews from other blogs. I, too, want to see it. However, I added it to my Netflix Queue. I'm a bit tight to spend the money on theater tickets. Two others I also am looking forward to seeing are:<BR/>Doubt<BR/>The Curious Case of Benjamin Button<BR/><BR/>Hope you have a great rest of your weekend!<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>~Amy :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
