I rented this film without ever hearing of it before, and was pleasantly surprised...something which is becoming more and more rare in my movie renting experience. This gritty, untypical western appealed to me on a number of different levels. The unusual... Full review

Written by Abby Everett Jaques and David Von Ancken and directed by Von Ancken, "Seraphim Falls" is a rough, tough, old-fashioned western set on the dusty plains and snow-covered mountains of western Nevada. The plot is little more than a straightforward... Full review

SERAPHIM FALLS is an odd film, one that on the surface appears to be an homage to the old Westerns, but proves to be a psychological battle for survival between two men engulfed in revenge. There is very little story to... Full review

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It's a hunt movie, in the genre of Jeremiah Johnson or The Searchers type. Not gripping,then isn't supposed to be, but contained enough excitement and adventure to keep me fully engrossed. I thought Pierce Brosnan was... Full review

Critics Reviews
The Cinema Source
However, Irish actors Pierce Brosnan and Liam Neeson prove themselves quite adept to the classic genre with the new western Seraphim Falls, now available on DVD.
Seraphim Falls is a well-made Western that harks back to the glorious Italian spaghetti westerns of the 1960s.

Brosnan, who is brilliant at acting with his eyes, is able to convey emotion and fatigue with fierce intensity.
The backgrounds of the two lead characters are eventually revealed but its done so at a bold and leisurely pace.

For all its many virtues, not the least of which are its ambition and its obvious intelligence, Seraphim Falls is an honorable disappointment.
And while there are some breathtaking images throughout Seraphim Falls, courtesy of John Toll's stunning cinematography, the film's narrative rhythms feel more attuned to the small screen.

Premiere Magazine
This probably sounds dreadful, and by all rights the film should be a pretentious bore.
The last scene of Seraphim Falls will no doubt annoy as many views as it intrigues, but it's an appropriately mythic send-off to these larger-than-life characters.

It doesnt hurt that the scenery throughout the film is gorgeous, from the wintery mountainside at the beginning to the scorching flats of the end.
Seraphim Falls may not add all that much originality to the western genre, but its a fun trip along the way.
