Things look different after 10 years of the American Civil War, as Edward Young came home to find his family differently than he used to before going to war. During this period, his son seems to have disappeared, as he must battle to survive the outbreak of more terrifying tracks.
While the spareness and seriousness of the film are to be admired, and Gibson makes for a sympathetic protagonist, there is little here that we have not seen before (even if it may have been set after), and even less that rivets the attention.
