About this movie

In the 1860s, five men have been tracking a sixth across Nevada for more than two weeks. They shoot and wound him, but he gets away. They pursue, led by the dour Carver, who will pay them each $1 a day once he's captured. The hunted is Gideon, resourceful, skilled with a knife. Gideon's flight and Carver's hunt require horses, water, and bullets. The course takes them past lone settlers, a wagon train, a rail crew, settlements, and an Indian philosopher. What is the reason for the hunt; what connects Gideon and Carver? What happened at Seraphim Falls?

Ratings and reviews

They don't seem to be in fashion anymore, and to be honest I only considered watching this because it was on offer at 99 pence. However, after saying that if I had a clue it was going to be this good, I would happily have paid full price. I enjoyed this movie a lot more than the majority wise of the movies realised this year, the acting was spot on, the feel of the whole movie felt right, with nothing seeming out of character, and it was involving and tense thought-out. The best couple of hours spent watching any movie in a while, give it a go.

Great movie...trails of yowardd the end and gets a bit weird....but 5 stars for the opening scene ...outstanding

Gritty movie...engaging and well worth a watch!
