a5c7b9f00b At the end of the Civil War, a colonel hunts down a man with whom he has a grudge. Somewhere in the desolate and snow-capped 1860s-Ruby Mountains, a rugged and solitary man, Gideon, runs for his life, wounded by the unyielding Carver&#39;s murderous four-hired-guns posse. In this imposing but unforgiving landscape riddled with treacherous hazards, the two indefatigable enemies test the limits of their strength and endurance, with skilled Gideon always a step ahead of his relentless pursuers. But who is really Gideon? What has he done to deserve such hatred? In the end, what secrets are buried in Seraphim Falls? 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. The FIVE is given for the cast. When you have such people on screen - Brosnan, Neesam and Griffith you expect something to happen. Like story to be told. If you remember &quot;Dead Man&quot; with Depp and Henricksen and GRIFFITH you may understand what I mean. In &quot;Dead Man&quot; there was a &quot;On the way movie&quot;. While this one was a disaster. Should Brosnan and Neesam have failed in participation from whatever reason to other unknown actors movie would be just B class film. I expected &quot;SOMETHING&quot; from this. And I got sameI got from the movie I have seen lately with Cussack and Freeman about some hit-man caught by Sunday dad making his terms with son. So all I can say is that good cast worked very hard to save poor script. Commenting the high notes from several users: some time ago I also tended to give high marks to something I was unable to understand. NowI am quite mature I decided to turn tables. I am quite an educated and tolerant man. But since I have assen over 1500 movies (this is my collection) I also have something called &quot;taste&quot;. I feel disappointed with this movie. I paid for it and I understand that good actors agree to act in low budget movies. All is fine with it -longthe screenplay is fine. I really wish the movie was better. R Neeson and Brosnan are supremely well-matched foils, though I do wish that the filmmaker, David Von Ancken, had lent his sparsely mythic tale just a twinge of something…new.
