In writer/director David Von Ancken’s deconstructionist post Civil War Western, Liam Neeson plays Carver, a former Confederate Army colonel obsessed with hunting down a Union Army Captain.
Gideon (Pierce Brosnan) is accountable for a terrible act of cruelty in Seraphim Falls, Georgia, during the now-ended war.
It’s a chase movie set against a brutally cold wilderness where Carver hunts and wounds Gideon like a wild animal.
Frigid Taos, New Mexico insured a “no acting required” level of performance from its two tough Irish actors.
Meat on the bone baby.
Rated R. 115 mins.
