Seraphim Falls on Hallmark Tonight.

Thanks for the heads up! I've heard nothing but good things about this movie. I think I will watch it.
 
I'm watching it now, actually. And I'm loving the bowie. Great design, great looking blade. In fact, I just came to BladeForums just now specifically to look it up here. :D
 
I am astonished that you guys liked this movie. I found it a complete and utter waste of time.

Wheneve a movie ends and I go....."What the #$%@ was THAT ??" it's not a good movie in my book.

.
 
The ending was kind of dumb. The movie was great up until Brosnan jumped out of the dead horse - and ode to Luke Skywalker?

Another modern and quirky western I really liked was Deadman with Johnny Deppe.
 
Did not like the movie. The best part of the movie is the knife. Pierce Brosnan has never been able to portray a "hard" man. He never was believable in James Bond and sure was moaning and groaning in the first part of Seraphim Falls.
 
I liked it all the way up to the railroad work party scene, it all went to pot from there. The ending was stupid. Someone burns my wife and kids to death, I sure as hell would have pulled the trigger.

IMO, they tried to make some kind of "spiritual"/moral "revenge is wrong" statement at the end that just didn't go with the flow of the rest of the movie. This movie needed a climactic mano-e-mano fight to the death.

FWIW, I think Brosnan was cast well, as I don't see his character as the "hard man" type, but more the "coward that got cornered" type.
 
Dude, they got conned by the Devil! That's what happened, that's why the ending was odd, weird, crappy, whatever. Had the DEVIL not shown up, the killing would have happened... an eye for an eye and all that. But it didn't, because the DEVIL came in. Now they will part, and one will say "HAHAHAHAH... I killed your family and you didn't do a thing about it!" and the other "Damn, I should have killed that guy. STUPID me!"
 
I walked in where it looked light he started a fire by hitting the primer with his knife. I thought that was pretty neat, but did he not have a pistol at that time?

I didnt watch the rest.
 
was'nt a bad movie... if you take out the first 20 mins of moaning & groaning & the anything after he leaves the folks cabin



definately not going to buy the DVD
 
I liked the moaning and groaning. IMO it was a more realistic version of what would happen in those circumstances. Rembering that he was blindsided by being shot from a distance and not knowing why. If it were reality, I doubt he could have made it out of the river having been shot in the shoulder and such. I always hate it in these movies where the guy gets shot three times and carries on like nothing happened. Of course, this happens with Pierce towards the end where his arm becomes much more functional.

The fire-starting scene was the highlight of the show I think. He was desparate and it showed how he had little coordination of his fingers under those situations. He would have needed to take more time preparing his tinder for it to actually work though. The eye spy with my little eye, a knife falling from the sky was pretty original as well.

Yeah I realized the devil theme at the end, I do agree with others though that it sort of came out of left field and changed the tempo of the film too much. I also didn't understand the metaphor of the Indian and his watering hole.
 
i liked it...it was different...but i have to say the best movie that has the " you burned my family now you are gonna die theme" is Jerimaih Johnson....hands down the best learning on the fly to survive and kill your enemy movie evar!
