Viewing Notes

A classic tale of post-Civil War revenge, turned on it’s end a bit, Seraphim Falls starts out pretty damn strong, but gets too caught up in it’s own moralities and desire to tie a bow around the plot by the end. The final third of the movie undermines the rough hewn reality of the first third of the film.

Despite that, it’s still an enjoyable watch.
