The most recent great Western, but hopefully not the last. A swan song for Eastwood, who turns in a fine performance along with a stellar supporting cast including the well-rewarded Hackman (Best Supporting Actor, 1992: Academy Awards, Los Angeles Film Critics, Golden Globes, New York Film Critics, National Society of Film Critics...) Eastwood answers all the past complaints of glorified movie violence in this film which has its characters question and confront the very issue of killing. Also, this Western brings a fine portrayal of frontier female labor issues to the screen. An outstanding movie. An instant Classic Western.
