A sturdy B-picture with an A-list cast, Seraphim Falls will divert Western fans starved of big-screen adventure. At the same time, it doesn’t ever present a particularly compelling reason why it should exist. If it’d been made in the ’50s, it would have starred Glenn Ford and Van Helfin. Instead, we get Liam Neeson as an ex-Confederate colonel hunting down Pierce Brosnan as the Union captain who done him wrong. Neeson’s motivation is deliberately kept obtuse in brief flashbacks building to the conclusion, though viewers with a passing knowledge of the American Civil War on-screen (The Outlaw Josey Wales, Shenandoah) and off won’t find the revelation surprising.
