Review of The Salvation (2014)

By Peter Bradshaw (3,667) for Guardian (4,584) on 15 Apr 2015

Mikkelsen makes a great western hero. In an earlier age, this might have been his entire career…

Review of The Salvation (2014)

By Tim Robey (1,578) for Daily Telegraph (UK) (2,495) on 15 Apr 2015

Sadly, the director's stylistic gambits get the better of him at the precise point when the plotting gets wobbly, and the result is a pile-up…

Review of The Salvation (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 14 Apr 2015

Nearly Blazing Saddles without the jokes: all genre conventions with none of the fun, just your inescapable expectations met around every sun-blighted…

Review of The Salvation (2014)

By Trevor Johnston (624) for Time Out (7,510) on 12 Apr 2015

Lacks enough complexity to hold cliché at bay, and the CGI-heavy visuals are distracting…

Review of The Salvation (2014)

By James Mottram (656) for Total Film (3,532) on 12 Apr 2015

Not the deepest western you’ll ever see, but it sure knows how to pack a punch (and fire off a round). Fans of the genre will get their kicks…

Review of The Salvation (2014)

By Andy Lea (545) for Daily Star (403) on 11 Apr 2015

A solid, if very familiar, revenge Western with a decent lead, a couple of well-staged shootouts and some dazzling desert landscapes…

Review of The Salvation (2014)

By Colin Covert (1,936) for Minneapolis Star Tribune (2,416) on 19 Mar 2015

Even when we know the familiar iconography and storytelling tropes of old American classics that are thundering toward us, it's great to see…

Review of The Salvation (2014)

By Travis Hopson (923) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 15 Mar 2015

The Salvation is such a loving embrace to the Western genre you keep waiting for John Wayne to sidle up, tip his hat, and say Howdy ma'am…

Review of The Salvation (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 14 Mar 2015

More Sergio Leone than John Ford, it's a visually expansive compendium of revenge-movie cliches suffused with Scandinavian angst--not a spaghetti…

Review of The Salvation (2014)

By Chris Sawin (379) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 14 Mar 2015

The Salvation isn't quite as extraordinary as John Hillcoat's The Proposition, but it's still an extremely solid western with a remarkable…

Review of The Salvation (2014)

By Steven Rea (1,872) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 13 Mar 2015

The Salvation is severe and bloody stuff…

Review of The Salvation (2014)

By Stephanie Merry (410) for Washington Post (9,851) on 12 Mar 2015

Surprises are few and far between in The Salvation, but for Western fans looking for a fix, it'll do the trick…

Review of The Salvation (2014)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 12 Mar 2015

Kristian Levring offers a brutally beautiful take on the Western in The Salvation, a film reminiscent of a song that sounds familiar but offers…

Review of The Salvation (2014)

By Mark Dujsik (2,093) for Mark Reviews Movies (2,037) on 12 Mar 2015

It's disappointing that the movie, which begins with such a strong sense of moral murkiness and casual injustice, descends into a rather generic…

Review of The Salvation (2014)

By Glenn Lovell (434) for CinemaDope (253) on 11 Mar 2015

…

Review of The Salvation (2014)

By Matthew Lickona (530) for San Diego Reader (713) on 06 Mar 2015

Worth seeing just for the faces, starting with Mads Mikkelsen as the suffering hero, then moving on to Jeffrey Dean Morgan as the rotten, savvy…

Review of The Salvation (2014)

By Laura Kern (82) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 06 Mar 2015

Slick, hyperstylized, and lushly scored- a far cry from Levring and co-writer Anders Thomas Jensen's Dogme days-The Salvation is, under its…

Review of The Salvation (2014)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 02 Mar 2015

It’s a welcome throwback, moving at a brisk clip and allowing its impressive cast to embody some cherished archetypes…

Review of The Salvation (2014)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 01 Mar 2015

The individually strong elements of the movie all feel like they should add up to something much more than the whole…
