Quiz
Kiefer Sutherland was motivated to craft a film that he could do with his father Donald, so he enlisted writer Brad Mirman to write a western story about a father and son, to be played on screen by a father and son. Kiefer claimed that they had waited years for the right script to come along, but with Donald approaching 80 it was the point that they felt it had to be done sooner rather than later.

Blooper
When John Henry goes to buy another gun he chooses the LeMat revolver. The shop keeper remarks that it is 9 shots and a 10 gauge shotgun and places a box of cartridges on the counter. The shotgun barrel on a LeMat is 20 gauge not 10 and it is a cap and ball revolver that does not use cartridges.

Citazioni
Gentleman Dave Turner: John Henry. Whatever happens next, I want you to know that I did not sanction that cowardly act against your father. Personally I find that action damnable and deserving of the fate you brought upon them.
John Henry Clayton: Then you'll be leaving.
Gentleman Dave Turner: Can't do that. No one hires a gunman who runs from trouble.
John Henry Clayton: You don't have to run Dave. You can walk.
Gentleman Dave Turner: The terms of my employment won't allow me to do that.
John Henry Clayton: This here LeMat's mighty heavy. Puts me at a disadvantage.
Gentleman Dave Turner: What would you suggest?
John Henry Clayton: Would you be kind enough to let me go back inside and retrieve myself a Colt?
Gentleman Dave Turner: - nods
John Henry Clayton: Thank you.
Gentleman Dave Turner: - nods again

Excellent Old School Western

There has been a number of westerns being released recently, from the excellent Bone Tomahawk, The Hateful Eight & the Revenant to the decent Diablo.

The Forsaken doesn't compare with the greats, but is still an excellent old style Western. The problem with this, is that it will be judged for being to old fashioned. If not for the swearing by the great Brian Cox, this is a Western that could have been made in the 60's with Glenn Ford or Randolph Scott.

All performances are excellent, and the reviewer saying that Kiefer Sutherland overacted, he must have been watching another movie. Donald Sutherland is equally as good as his father. Michael Wincott is also worth mentioning, in a memorable role as a hired gun. He seems to be channelling Val Kilmer in Tombstone. As mentioned before, Brian Cox is excellent as the villain, using up the films swear quota. The only poor lead role is Demi Moore, which is not down to her acting, but limited screen time and development. Still give her points for not being vain and letting her grey hair show through.

The plot isn't the most original, but gets the job done. Jon Cassar does a great job of directing and the Canadian scenery that is used looks terrific.
