It’s an older style, thinking man’s western. Those think it’s slow, grew up after the classic westerns. It’s not a video game and never was meant to be. After so many crappy westerns from the 90s on, I was shockingly surprised how good this is

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

It was a bit slow in development but took off nicely. All the actors were spot on. Too bad there wasnt more room in the story for Demi Moore's character. Michael Wincott was fantastic.

The slowest most boring western I've ever seen. The dialogue is maximum cringe. Every time someone speaks they include the full name of the person they're addressing, in every single line, multiple times per exchange. It was infuriating.

Brad Wheeler

Globe and Mail

In a standard cowering-town-needs-a-gunfighter drama, typical themes (redemption, forgiveness) are laid out with little imagination.

Lou Lumenick

New York Post

Forsaken greatly benefits from the poignant teaming of its father-and-son stars -- as well as Michael Wincott as an especially elegant and eloquent gunfighter who has great respect for John.

Rated: 3/4

By relying on uninspired Western tropes over true grit, Forsaken is forgettable.

Movie Talk

Veteran TV director Jon Cassar (a 24 stalwart) isn't aiming for anything particularly original or revisionist here, and some viewers will take issue with his film's measured pacing... But the movie has enough grace notes to keep Western fans engaged

Rated: 3/5

Film Inquiry

As modern critics lament the death of the genre, Forsaken is a reminder as to why Westerns went out of fashion in the first place.
