Movie Reviews of Seraphim Falls
Movie Review: Rebirth of the Western
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an absolutely outstanding western. I say this as a huge fan of the genre and as one who has seen many dozens of westerns. I would put this in the top 5 of all westerns ever made -- certainly, of any western made in the last 30 years. Pierce Brosnan's performance blew me away. The film is beautifully photographed and the pacing is just right. I applaud director David Von Ancken for not resorting to using a bunch of fast edits or other distracting modern film "technique". He didn't have to, nor should he have, given the genre and the solidity of story and actors. The only weak spot was Liam Neeson's rather difficult-to-place "western" accent. But that is a minor quibble. Seraphim Falls reminds us why the western genre will always belong on the silver screen.
Movie Review: An unusual but effective Western-thriller!
Summary: 5 Stars
The superb landscapes that work out as big frame for the dramatic human chase, along miles of cold mountains, wild rivers and snowy mountains will lead us to an unexpected final in which we will realize the painful backgrounds that led to this man to undertake a search of three years. The rest of the plot runs for you:
Pierce Brosnan has grown up as actor to unexpected levels; his abrupt dialogues with his ferrous hunter - Liam Neeson in a mesmerizing performance - are unforgettable. There's an underlying tribute to a fabulous film of Erik von Satroheim "Greed" in the final sequence.
"Seraphim Falls" is a powerful allegation against the thirst of vengeance,but also a heartfelt tribute to John Ford.
Movie Review: A thriller of a Western!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie really deserves 10 stars! Awesome scenery and fantastic directing/writing. Gideon (Pierce Brosnan) is a formidable foe for Carver (Liam Neeson), a man seeking revenge three years after the Civil War. 'War is Hell' is an understatement in this story of two men with emotional scars from the war and everything it has taken from them struggling to just keep going. Unable to put their pasts behind, they take their hatred and anger out on one another. The intensity of the action is constant as Gideon runs for his life, adept at killing anyone intending harm if they get too close to him. Both men leave a trail of blood. How much will they spill before putting an end to their personal war?

Movie Review: Excellent Film, Great Scenery, Cinematography and Acting
Summary: 5 Stars
The film DOES NOT have more bullets flying than the battle of Gettysburg (like the re-make of 3:10 to Yuma) and the shortage of lead and explosions along with the need for an attention span longer than 30 seconds is in my view the reason for the one star ratings for this film. It does not have one byte of computer generated graphics but great filming in real places, the scenic and wide open spaces of the American West.
It is similar to the Return of a Man Called Horse in it's portrayal of the struggles of life in the wilderness. Acting is excellent, the film will not disappoint, language is PG and the only reason it is R is for some scenes of gun and knife wounds.
Movie Review: Theres more here than superficial moviegoers are detecting!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hello? The religious pilgrims suddenly show up and take away all their bullets...the indian at the water hole ends up with some gold he dumps on the ground....Angelica Houston, the woman that suddenly appears in the desert to each of them, to give them ONE bullet...it's the fight between GOOD and EVIL....Did any of them really exist? In the case of the Indian and the woman in the desert, no! They are figments of the characters dehydrated delusion in the desert! This is a GREAT movie, but because action movies have dumbed down audiences for so long, nobody GETS it.
Open up your mind, open up your eyes, and enjoy this movie!
