The life of a former sheriff lives in the strange and small town of Big Whisky, where everybody struggles against having a comfortable life, William Munny, has been changed completely, when he has to make one another dangerous mission, that brings terrible for him, so he receives help from his old partner.
casts an unforgiving eye, from both insider and outsider perspectives, on the brutalities and hypocrisies of an 'enlightened' nation's Restoration period.
It shouldn't be missed by anyone with a taste for Eastwood's typically slanted morality. It's the actor/director's best movie -- and the best Western by anybody -- in over 20 years.
This is the finest set of performances ever to grace a Clint Eastwood movie, and this time Eastwood even does a good job directing Eastwood. Every bullet in this movie matters.
