Forsaken (2015)
Completely unoriginal, yet enjoyable throwback western
25 February 2016 - 35 out of 44 users found this review helpful.
If you're a fan of the genre, there isn't a single plot beat in FORSAKEN that you haven't seen many times over. In most instances, you'll probably be able to deduce what's going to happen next, or even what the next line is going to be.
That said, I still enjoyed the movie a good deal, primarily due to the beautiful locations, and Donald Sutherland's exceptional performance in what could have been a thankless, cut-out role. Kiefer, in full-on Kiefer mumbly mode fails to impress, but it's still interesting to see the father-son duo share the screen.
I'd give it a 6.5 if I could, but since I can't, I usually round up.
