The Civil War has ended, but Colonel Morsman Carver is on one final mission – to kill Gideon, no matter what it takes. Launched by a gunshot and propelled by rage, the relentless pursuit takes the two men through frigid snow-capped mountains and arid deserts, far from the comforts and codes of civilisation, into the bloodiest recesses of their own souls.

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Definitely one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Just wallows in the stupidity of it's characters. Too bad since it had such a strong cast. I guess the screenwriter must be at fault.
I really enjoyed watching Seraphim Falls. If you enjoyed First Blood starring Sylvester Stallone and are a fan of cowboy type films, this movie might be one you'll love! Great plot, action, direction and cinemotography made this a fine film. I feel it's nit given the attention it deserves!
The name of the movie only starts to make sense past mid-point of the movie. Here we can see two men battling in a quest for revenge (a little misplaced, or not ?!?), after the end of the American Civil War.An allegory between heaven and hell – the beginning and the end of the movie, com be seen in the sets, portrayed by high winterly mountains and a scorching desert where the action unravels.In between, the hunter is losing its men, either by the hand or the hunted, or by greed - the perspective of easer money that the quest at hand. The last of the sidekicks, in a very good performance by Michael Wincott, get taken out by the ugly face the revenge at a hands grasp.We can see two great actors – Pierce Brosnan and Liam Neeson, portraying two soldiers, hardened by war and hardship, making their way into an ending which turns out to be a little weak, where we can see that the men aren't so hardened. Cowboys and soldiers also have good and just hearts.A final note to Angelica Houston playing a saleswoman, in the middle of the desert (??!!) trading with both men the means to make the revenge possible with justice (equal rights). Is she a representation for the devil itself? I think so ..., in a little twisted and just way.It's a very good movie with great landscapes and very worthwhile example of the long lost western.
It's 1868. This starts in the Mountains of the west. Gideon (Pierce Brosnan) barely escapes a posse led by Carver (Liam Neeson). They chase him from the mountains down to the deserts. It doesn't really explain the reason for the manhunt until close to the end.That's the big premise of this movie. It dives right into a chase without telling the audience the why. There is a certain fascination. It's almost as if the reason doesn't matter. In a certain way, it almost doesn't. That's why the reveal is rather a minor disappointment. It could never really satisfy the build up. I think it would be more compelling if they never showed the explanation. The ending does get a bit too surreal especially since the movie never hints at that kind of bent.
