re: Discussion on Unforgiven

His acting was like that by design. William Munny only took that job for the money. He was trying to leave his past as a stone cold killer behind him. He also had to avoid alcohol, since that triggered his violence. He had to avoid women to honor his dead wife which was tough considering the job was offered by prostitutes.

Then he had to deal with the Kid and his constant bragging. Obviously Munny was the real deal killer and saw through his bullshite. There was a lot going on with that character.
