I'd never heard of The Unforgiven but when I saw Burt Lancaster, Audrey Hepburn, and John Huston I knew I had to check it out. The whole thing starts off a bit laboured and takes a while to get its footing. When it does finally start to get interesting it plays rather unevenly. Yes, there are some interesting and a few intense sections, in particular when the Indians begin to take a more meaningful role within the film. As for the performances Lancaster, Hepburn, Gish, and Saxon are all fine but it's some of the smaller, supporting characters that came across as cliched and kind of distracting that really hurts the film the most. Not unwatchable but also disappointing. Worth checking out only if you're genuinely interested.
