Synopsis

Watch: Seraphim Falls 2006 123movies, Full Movie Online – In the 1860s, five men have been tracking a sixth across Nevada for more than two weeks. They shoot and wound him, but he gets away. They pursue, led by the dour Carver, who will pay them each $1 a day once he’s captured. The hunted is Gideon, resourceful, skilled with a knife. Gideon’s flight and Carver’s hunt require horses, water, and bullets. The course takes them past lone settlers, a wagon train, a rail crew, settlements, and an Indian philosopher. What is the reason for the hunt; what connects Gideon and Carver? What happened at Seraphim Falls?.
Plot: The Civil War has ended, but Colonel Morsman Carver is on one final mission – to kill Gideon, no matter what it takes. Launched by a gunshot and propelled by rage, the relentless pursuit takes the two men through frigid snow-capped mountains and arid deserts, far from the comforts and codes of civilisation, into the bloodiest recesses of their own souls.

Go as you wish. That which is yours will always return to you. That which you take will always be taken from you.

Seraphim Falls is directed by David Von Ancken who also co-writes with Abby Everett Jaques. It stars Liam Neeson, Pierce Brosnan, Michael Wincott, Xander Berkeley, Tom Noonan, Kevin J. O’Connor, John Robinson, Ed Lauter, Wes Studi and Anjelica Huston. Music is by Harry Gregson-Williams and cinematography by John Toll.

It’s post American Civil War, 1868, the Rocky Mountains, and Gideon (Brosnan) is being hunted by Colonel Morsman Carver (Neeson) and his hired killers. The reason why is not yet known, but it’s the beginning of a relentless pursuit that’s propelled by rage and hatred, a pursuit that will force both men to the day of reckoning.

The premise is as simple as it gets and on the surface the film holds no surprises until the divisive ending. However, before taking in the thematics of the story, it’s refreshing to find a film of this genre type utilising the scenery to the max, whilst simultaneously playing out with sparse dialogue as two grizzled actors tell the story. An obvious forebear to “The Outlaw Josey Wales”, Seraphim Falls is ultimately a meditation on revenge and remorse. Moments of violence flit in and out of proceedings, these moments cloaked magnificently by natural surroundings, where the expansive wilderness plays host to the intimate human drama unfolding. It’s also a film that pulses with mythical atmosphere, where Carver’s pursuit of Gideon plays out like that of the Grim Reaper and his charges sent to capture the soul of the fleeing man. The falls of the title clearly indicates man’s decent into hell, because it’s not for nothing that the finale is played out on a blistering plain, which as you cast your eyes upon it, it is indeed hellish.

It’s also worth noting that we the viewers are never sure who we should be rooting for – if either of them!? Gideon is out on his own, but he is an immensely skilled mountain man, one who is seemingly out skilling his pursuers. Is he the bad guy here? Or is it Neeson’s Carver? One is ex Union, the other Confederate, this gives added spice to what then develops into a most intriguing journey. Where the film has irked some critics is with the ending, with some calling it pretentious and a very weak pay off. It’s true enough to say that Ancken has slackened the grip slightly, as the tight gritty tone gives way to something more open and even airy. Yet I personally like it a lot, it helps to round out the supernatural feel that appears to loom as we have headed towards the day of reckoning. It lacks dramatic impact for sure, but thematically and for tonal bedfellow process, it pays off on what had gone before it.

Brosnan (stepping in when Richard Gere bailed out) and Neeson revel in the roles, seemingly enjoying the complexities and war torn burdens that their characters carry. Their scenes together are as professional as one could wish, both men comfortably doing world weary characterisations. Wincott is on hand for gravel voiced villain duties, his portrayal of Hayes is cold and in keeping with the movie. The other notable names in the cast drop in and out of the narrative, each important, and in the case of Huston and Studi, suitably weird. But the real star of the show is John Toll (Braveheart/Legends of the Fall), whose photography is pristine and always remaining atmospheric, he captures the natural beauty of Oregon and New Mexico with great keen eyed skill. Switiching seamlessly from the blue, grey and whites of the mountain pursuit to the browns and yellows of the salt flats, we witness a master cinematographer at work.

Likely to infuriate as much as it enthrals, one just hopes that it’s the latter that anyone reading this does indeed find to be the case. 8/10

Grim, relentless pursuit Western turns mystical in the last act

A vengeful former Confederate colonel (Liam Neeson) leads a small group of hirelings in an unyielding hunt for the former Union officer who horribly wronged him three years earlier (Pierce Brosnan). The only problem is that the latter is an expert fighter and survivalist.

This is a well done revenge Western with spectacular and varied remote Western locations (detailed below). If you thought Brosnan was a pretty boy as James Bond this movie will change your mind as he’s virtually unrecognizable as the skilled Rambo-like militarist. The tone is similar to contemporaneous Westerns like “The Missing” (2003) and “September Dawn” (2007), but with a revenge-chase plot. The final act throws in supernatural elements with characters like Mr. Charon (Wes Studi) and Louise C. Fair (Angelica Huston). You don’t have to think too hard to figure out who they really are.

The movie runs 1 hour, 55 minutes and was shot in Oregon (McKenzie River, Sahalie Falls and Koosah Falls), New Mexico (Lordsburg, Taos, Bramlett and Santa Fe), Arizona (Willcox Playa, Pirtleville, San Bernardino Valley and Chiricahua National Monument) and Death Valley National Park, California.

the best western in a decade or so
Liam Neeson as Carver is hunting Gideon (Pierce Brosnan) through the wilderness of the old west, in this minimalistic western that takes place a little after the Civil War. Very well acted by all involved, and I found myself enjoying it quite a lot. At 2 hours, the film hardly feels it and is seems like a fast watch, never wearing out it’s welcome (although coming close to it around the end due to the cameos of Angela Huston and Wes Studi, both parts felt forced and didn’t jibe with the film in any way) Aside from that, if you’re a fan of the Western genre, you’ll find much to enjoy in this one. It’s probably the best we’ve had in a good decade or so. To say Writer/ Director Ancken hit his stride here wouldn’t be the right word (I’ve yet to see his short “Bullet in the Brain”, but hear it’s excellent), but it IS the film that really made me take notice of his talent and I strongly await whatever he has up his sleeve next.

My Grade: A

Just the kind of western that I like
It’s a little strange to look over the cast list for this movie and realize that so many people are in it, because it’s hard to think about or remember anything other than these 2 men who end up facing each other in the desert. This is a very focused movie, it’s not trying to take in all the “important” questions about America and the mythology of the West. It’s just about revenge, like some of the best westerns of the 50s and 60s.

Carver (Liam Neeson) is on the hunt for Gideon (Pierce Brosnan) with a set of accomplices (including most notably Michael Wincott and Ed Lauter — men with great western faces that Leone himself would have adored). We don’t find out the reason till fairly far along, and it’s predictable enough to take the movie down a notch. Still I like the way that the set-up is handled, how we don’t really know if Carver is a law-man or a bounty hunter or what. And I like the central theme of the film — the idea of “when does war end?” Carver says that war never ends: “War is just men killing other men.” Interestingly in the flashback when Gideon comes to Carver’s ranch it’s Carver who says “the war is over!” and the dialog is reversed when Carver tracks Gideon down later. War is a social institution; these two men are caught up in the reality of war outside of its institutional nature, the “side effects” if you will that hardly seem incidental to those who are affected by them.

Power is the variable in every equation of war, its solution and its method. When Gideon defeats Carver in combat and proves his superiority as a warrior, he leaves Carver in the dust and walks away. This would not be a satisfying ending either thematically or dramatically, so the movie and the battle continue but into a surreal desert the likes of which we haven’t seen since the days of Leone or much earlier Von Stroheim. An “angel” appears to give the men the “cure” to exactly what they need. The dream logic prevails; if they are willing to surrender the thing that keeps them alive, they can accomplish the function of the fighting. Now, my reading of the ending is that Gideon gives Carver the chance to kill him because he’s already given up on life. He didn’t want to kill Carver, because he was never angry at Carver in the first place and he felt bad about what happened to Carver’s family. So he did it as a gesture of goodwill, and in that sense I think it’s very believable. But Carver couldn’t kill Gideon because it was never the function of the fighting to lead up to a sacrifice. The function of the fighting was for power to be gained over the other. The intended sacrifice resolves the dramatic situation, and it also points up the absurd nature of their entire vendetta. I think some might find the ending unconvincing or unsatisfying but for me it was the only possible one for these reasons.

Besides having great faces Wilcott and Lauter are fantastic in the movie and the others are decent. It reminds me of James Coburn and James Best riding with the vengeful Lee Van Cleef in Budd Boetticher’s great western “Ride Lonesome.” I always do prefer these kinds of western story, where the whole thing is about an essential conflict between 2 or 3 people and the film doesn’t try to make the people represent ideas directly. I like my westerns pulpy and small scale. Brosnan should do more westerns, he was great in this movie. Neeson is a fascinating performer, and he really finds the meat of this role and chews the heck out of it. His accent sounds pretty good to me, and he really embodies a dead-man-walking kind of mentality. I wouldn’t have thought of him in this role, but he did it so well and that’s what makes him great.

Photography and direction are just about perfect, not too showy and not too detached emotionally either. I would only rate the film a bit higher if it wasn’t so predictable in terms of the story. But I really enjoyed the setting and the hard edged style of the film. With solid performances at its core, this one should age very well.
