keven q Hmm. Surprised this wasn't rated better. It's a pretty good and standard western. Great acting of course. The story ends in this kind of macabre fever dream that is very reminiscent of classic westerns, which I liked, though I see some watchers didn't. It's gonna stay in my collection. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/07/25 Full Review Chief B Me myself I love this movie from the first time I've watched it. I do think they could've done a bit more with it but still it draws me in forgetting everything around me and that's what a movie is supposed to do for me. The acting is superb especially Pierce Brosnan who steals the show. It seems to be a cautionary tale about revenge and violence and i don't mind it when a movie has a message like that in it. The scenery is also breathtaking. The landscapes remind me of the westerns of old. Also the landscapes are being used as an analogy of the situations the characters are in since it's going from ice cold to scorching heat in a gradual way . Also it has some subtle supernatural elements in it and I love that in the western platform. 4,5 out of 5 for me. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/02/25 Full Review Helen E Let’s see. Stars Liam Neesom and Pierce Brosnan. That’s all I needed. Beautiful country, snow everywhere. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/25 Full Review Scott W For a movie to be this dull, it seems like it has to be intentional. At least half of it was people silently riding or walking through the wilderness. Even National Geographic would make that more interesting. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/07/25 Full Review Jay W This movie frustrates me because I can see the potential that it has, but it does not measure up. Liam Neeson and Pierce Brosnan are good casting for two opposing forces. Yes, it is strange that they are both Irish men playing Americans during the civil war, but it does not break my immersion. The story is very straight-forward. Liam Neeson wants revenge on Pierce Brosnan. The duration of the movie is entirely Nesson chasing after Brosnan, for reasons that aren't revealed until later in the film. The old west is a good setting for people who are shades of gray in their morality. And both Neeson and Brosnan are good at playing both heroes and villains. One problem with the film is that the story is spread too thin. The movie runs for nearly 2 hours, and the entire story is just Brosnan trying to outrun Neeson and his men. There isn't much variety to it, and it runs old pretty fast. The idea of Brosnan living in regret for what he has done being its own sort of revenge is not explored enough. We have one scene of him sobbing early on, but we do not feel the character's regret for his actions. There are a lot of decisions that are made solely to make the movie continue. How are the people able to track down Brosnan? So the movie can happen. Why does Brosnan not die here? So the movie can happen. How does he get away? You know that answer to that question. It is sad to say that the worst parts of the movie are when our two leads share a scene together because that is when the story feels most contrived. I may sound like I am hating on this movie a lot, but that is because I see what the movie could have been if it had been given a little bit more time to polish off the rough edges. But as is Seraphim Falls Short of expectations. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Mark J Excellent film, tense, edgy, violent, bloody, a great watch and great scenery, gets a bit silly towards the end with the Indian guarding a water hole and Angelica Houston as a snake oil salesman (or something) hence only 4 stars, definitely worth a watch and far better than anything around these days.
