Scott S. @RT20076591 Jun 21 Great western. Sutherland are great in this movie. See more Des E @Cliffity Apr 21 The plot of homesteaders being forced to sell or die by wealthy villain who hires thugs and gunslingers has been flogged to death. Kiefer Sutherland puts on the false husky voice throughout this boring rubbish. Donal Sutherland didn't have much of a charachter or script to display his talents..So avoid this painful rubbish. See more Dennis K. @dragonintherain Mar 14 I'm giving this 5 stars... The casting is fantastic and beautifully acted. The scene with Kefir and His Dad in the church is very moving. It was their first film together... Sad they couldn't have done more. It's not a fast paced film, if you're used to marvel pace it'll be too slow. Enjoy.

Sure the story was a cliche and unoriginal but still a beautiful story nonetheless. Just seeing all the characters come to life in a western scene from 2016 was awesome because most people growing up will be as inspired by the story telling if you never really experienced watching westerns before. I completely enjoyed the acting, the beautiful landscape and the feel of old west. I highly recommend watching this movie without prejudice. I'd give it 💯 worthwhile movie to watch!!! See more Wayne K @WayneKelso Oct 17 A fairly routine Western about a man who’s renounced violence being forced to pick up the six shooters again, Forsaken is elevated from mediocrity by the strong performances of its leads, the fact that it treats its subject matter with gravitas, and explores some interesting township dynamics. You have the hired gun who’s just there for money, the greedy landowner with a broken moral compass, the sadistic henchmen who take a sick pride in the bloody work they carry out, the innocent townspeople who don’t want to get involved for fear of inviting consequences upon themselves, and caught in the middle is our hero, a war veteran who’s seen so much death and destruction that he can’t bare to experience it again. Kiefer Sutherland really sells the performance, creating a character that we empathise with, get frustrated with and end up cheering for. The climactic gunfight isn’t anything special, in fact it’s made to look all too easy, and the whole thing wraps up a bit to conveniently, with a concluding narration that appears nowhere else as if the budget ran out and they had to explain rather than show what happened next. Issues aside, it’s an enjoyable watch that doesn’t overstay its welcome and does what it can to make you care about its characters. In an era of soulless, bloated movies, it’s a refreshing change of pace.
