June 24, 2008"How'd you get that scar on your throat? Indians?
- No worse. Mormons."
The first thing that came in mind, why I liked this movie was, that the two main characters aren't either good or bad. They're just men.
One is seeking vengeance and the other is trying live with the burden...( read more) -
June 1, 2008A pretty decent western with a quality cast. It is very much a tracking a man on the run film, a very dangerous man as it happens. It is wonderfully shot to as the backdrop changes from the snowy mountains, forests, open plains and into the desert. It gets a little surreal in the...( read more)

October 5, 2009While superifically billed as a western, "Seraphim Falls" has the tone and structure of a mournful poem. On the surface it is little more than the story of a hunter, a former Civil War Colonel, and the hunted, a war criminal. As the film goes on, however, both men become so singl...( read more)

But worth it....
...but only if you like westerns.
This is a simple tale of revenge and obsession and thus, the plot is simple; one man is chasing the other.
What makes this good to some is alas what will make it bad for others.
It is true that both lead characters are p...( read more) -

Seraphim Falls is a psychological drama with an intriguing ambiguity that challenges the viewer's loyalties and preconceived notions. full review

July 20, 2007This movie was not what I was expecting, but I enjoyed it very much. I didn't find that it started out slow, but instead wove an interesting story line that showed the hate the two men shared. Showing that they both had more in common then not. I was pleasantly surprised and happy I rented it.
