Review of Seraphim Falls (2007) by Nigel M — 29 Feb 2008
A good film with a gorgeous backdrop in the picturesque but wild and unforgiving style of Cold Mountain. A revenge tale, Brosnan is the hunted and he is much more on form here. Utterly believable as this grizzled man of the wilderness than he was as Bond towards the end of that particular tenure.
I'm never sure about Liam Neeson - sometimes he's lightweight but here with a good story and direction he puts in a great performance as the sadistic hunter who lost everything and blames Brosnan's ex-army character for it and wants bloody revenge.
Witness Brosnan falling into the swollen and freezing river, how cold he gets and what he does to warm up his hands! Strong film with unhurried action it rolls along at the correct pace rather than some westerns where it's all action all of the time.
