Seraphim Falls Storyline

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’s captured. The hunted is Gideon, resourceful, skilled with a knife. Gideon’s flight and Carver’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?

Revenge and the Wilderness Struggle for Survival

SERAPHIM FALLS is an odd film, one that on the surface appears to be an homage to the old Westerns, but proves to be a psychological battle for survival between two men engulfed in revenge. There is very little story to relate: Carver (Liam Neeson) with a small posse of bounty hunters (Michael Wincott, Ed Lauter, John Robinson and Robert Baker) treks Gideon (Pierce Brosnan) through snow, forests, mountains, rough water, and desert over a Civil Ear seed of hate. The ‘story’ fades to a philosophical stance (somewhat clumsily) by the intervention of some ghostly creatures (Anjelica Huston, et al) and ends without much more than a whisper of a memory about the futility of revenge.

Bronson and Neeson do well with their scant dialogue, revealing more of their character’s minds with physical action and the power of facial expressions. The mood of the film is in the superior hands of cinematographer John Toll and Harry Gregson-Williams’ musical score. Director David Von Ancken keeps the tension at peak level even though the film is desperately in need of editing (just under tow long hours in length). But for a diversion and an appreciation for the wilderness of America in the mid-nineteenth century, SERAPHIM FALLS is a visually satisfying experience. Grady Harp

the best western in a decade or so

Liam Neeson as Carver is hunting Gideon (Pierce Brosnan) through the wilderness of the old west, in this minimalistic western that takes place a little after the Civil War. Very well acted by all involved, and I found myself enjoying it quite a lot. At 2 hours, the film hardly feels it and is seems like a fast watch, never wearing out it’s welcome (although coming close to it around the end due to the cameos of Angela Huston and Wes Studi, both parts felt forced and didn’t jibe with the film in any way) Aside from that, if you’re a fan of the Western genre, you’ll find much to enjoy in this one. It’s probably the best we’ve had in a good decade or so. To say Writer/ Director Ancken hit his stride here wouldn’t be the right word (I’ve yet to see his short “Bullet in the Brain”, but hear it’s excellent), but it IS the film that really made me take notice of his talent and I strongly await whatever he has up his sleeve next.

My Grade: A

No Angels At Seraphim Falls

Seraphim Falls casts two actor whom you would not associate with the western genre as a couple of bitter enemies from the Civil War. I’m convinced that Liam Neeson and Pierce Brosnan did Seraphim Falls so they could say they’ve got a western in their credit lists. You never know when you might get offered another one.

It wasn’t a bad choice to make for either of them, especially Brosnan who’s light years away from playing James Bond or Remington Steele. Brosnan is a former Union Army officer hunting a noted Confederate in the person of Liam Neeson back in the day. Now it’s Brosnan hunting him and not too squeamish in what it takes to get him.

In fact Neeson and his hired men wound Brosnan right at the beginning of the film, but Brosnan manages to elude them with the fighting and survival skills worthy of Rambo. After that it’s a question of who might be hunting who.

Is Neeson really a bad guy because he does some really brutal things. Let’s just say he’s had some brutality inflicted on him in General Sherman’s particular brand of war on the south in the person of Brosnan when he was in uniform.

Though Angelica Huston as a medicine show lady and Wes Studi as a philosophical Indian have some interesting roles, Seraphim Falls is a film that belongs to its well matched leads. Fans of Neeson and Brosnan are required to see Seraphim Falls.
