At the end of the Civil War, a colonel hunts down a man with whom he has a grudge.
In the 1860s, five men have been tracking a sixth across Nevada for more than two weeks. They shoot and wound him, but he gets away. They pursue, led by the dour Carver, who will pay them each $1 a day once he&#39;s captured. The hunted is Gideon, resourceful, skilled with a knife. Gideon&#39;s flight and Carver&#39;s hunt require horses, water, and bullets. The course takes them past lone settlers, a wagon train, a rail crew, settlements, and an Indian philosopher. What is the reason for the hunt; what connects Gideon and Carver? What happened at Seraphim Falls?
I like going into movies knowing little about them other than a few basics. Quite often, the less you know beforehand, the more enjoyable a movie can be. So all I knew about Seraphim Falls when I watched it was that it was a western. I didn&#39;t even know who was in it.<br/><br/>Now, to start with, all was well. The frozen mountainous setting, Brosnan and Neeson, a tale of revenge. Who was Brosnan&#39;s character? Why was Neeson after him. All good stuff.<br/><br/>Over the course of the next hour or so, more is revealed as the manhunt continues. Again, all good.<br/><br/>But, oh dear, having convinced me it was a revenge-western, Seraphim Falls then proceeds to get a little bit weird. Characters appear in the middle of nowhere, offering temptations to Brosnan and Neeson&#39;s characters. At first I thought &quot;The characters are losing their minds, and this is what they are seeing.&quot; But the gifts thus given to the duo are apparently real. If they had both died of thirst at the end and been found by a wandering cavalry detachment, say, then I could have forgiven this.<br/><br/>But this is not what happens. I won&#39;t try and gloss over it. For a revenge flick this is a deeply unsatisfying conclusion. The trippy insanity is never explained and the whole thing leaves a rather unpleasant aftertaste in the mouth.<br/><br/>It&#39;s almost as if, having given us over an hour of blood and thunder, the director wanted to point out the folly of vengeance and how we should all just &quot;get along....&quot; If you like good old fashioned westerns give this one a miss. It starts off promising, but will hugely disappoint you in the end.
This film has a lot of interesting ideas, and overall does a lot right. For one thing the two main character both have depth to them. One is hunting the other down and, both have complex reasons for why there doing this. The chase scenes are well done and, it&#39;s pretty suspenseful. If you like westerns and, you like films were a characters complex choices define them then check this out.<br/><br/>SPOILER WARNING SPOILER WARNING SPOILER WARNING<br/><br/>The reason the main characters hate each other at the end of the film is because, one killed the others family during the civil war from just poor decision making. The movie really brings out the questions of &quot;What is right?&quot; and &quot;What is justice?&quot;. What I really liked about this film is that it shows that in a time of war nobody wins.
If Seraphim Falls' audience appreciates its good points and ignores an ending that tries too hard, they'll just be following a grand genre-buff tradition.
