"You just shot an unarmed man!"
"He should have armed himself if he's gonna decorate his saloon with my friend."
Another western film by Clint Eastwood, however don't expect any gun slinging mass body count in this flick. In fact there is hardly any "showdowns" except the last scene which in my opinion is probably one of the best western shootout I have ever seen. The story is about Clint Eastwood as a retired "outlaw" raising is kids in the middle of now where. Until a young punk with a smith&wesson revolver tells him some "ol lady in Wyoming got her faced slashed and all beat up by some local," then comes the adventure. The story is actrully more developed then the way I put it, in fact its alot better, in short the story combines the old west legends with the changing of times, to what is justice and what is a crime. Eastwood meets up with his partner Morgan Freeman (so cool) and then start there trek to this town. The town is run by this god complex sheriff Gene Hackman who acts like the town is his, and hes "saving" every one from bad people. The most interesting part about this movie is how the west is being lost to technology, which adds a fascinating level of ideas to the film. Without giving too much up, its a good flick, I wouldn't say it was amazing due to some parts were possibly a little over developed, however watch this movie as if it wasn't a "Western" film and you'll enjoy it, the ending is very satisfying.
