After the civil war ended. Things seem to remain unchanged. Now, Colonel Morsman Carve must complete the last final mission by killing Gideon who had years of antagonism.
Seraphim Falls isn't completely without interest, particularly for those of us who still like Westerns and bemoan their demise almost as much as we bemoan the demise of the movie musical.
Though the chase threatens to go on too long, the suspense remains high because we don't know which man is the real villain, or if there's a villain at all.

For all its manliness, the film works slightly better as a bitter romance gone postal.
As the story self-destructs, we are left with the majestic scenery, photographed by John Toll, and the pleasure of two good actors from one side of the Atlantic stretching themselves to seem convincing on the other.
Finally recalls a less convincing version of those of Anthony Mann which managed realism and the mythic without a false note.
