Overlooked Western, with strong physical performances from both Neeson and Brosnan.
Until the closing moments it's never clear why Neeson's character is so intent on revenge, only that he is haunted in his dreams and nothing will stand in his way. Brosnan plays someone who is tired of war and running. Together it makes for a thrilling chase and some wonderful scenic locations.
Brosnan in particular puts in a great acting performance and is ably partnered by Neeson and well supported by the rest of the cast. There is some great screenplay in picturesque western mountain and plains' scenery, but the limited dimension of the plot - revenge for an incident in the past - is not really interesting enough and the film loses momentum before the end. Still worth a watch though and I'll be looking out for Brosnan in future westerns.
This is one of the most boring films I've ever watched. A complete let down. Disjointed the only memorable things are landscapes. The ending denies belief. Terrible movie.
