Review: Seraphim Falls

I rented this based on Ebert and Roepers recommendation. It is a very good film. In the movie, which takes place in the late 1860's, Pierce Brosnan plays a hunted trapper who gets shot early on and spends the rest of the film trying to escape from a pursuing Liam Neeson. Bronsan is good, but he mumbles a lot; I think he has trouble with an American accent. Neeson is awesome as the pursuing avenger in this film, he really nails the hard-boiled character he portrays. The film is starkly realistic in the first half, but moves more into magical realism at the end. The end kind of fell flat for me. The film was good, but not great. I'd watch it again.

Grade: B
