Reviews


75
New York Post - Lou Lumenick
Tautly directed by Kiefer’s longtime “24’’ helmer Jon Cassar, Forsaken greatly benefits from the poignant teaming of its father-and-son stars — as well as Michael Wincott as an especially elegant and eloquent gunfighter who has great respect for John.
70
Variety - Joe Leydon
Refreshingly and unabashedly sincere in its embrace of Western conventions and archetypes, this pleasingly retrograde sagebrush saga should play exceptionally well with currently under-served genre fans.
60
The Guardian - Henry Barnes
Jon Cassar’s film rejects the recent revisionism that’s flooded the genre. His take – a straight rip-off of the classics – is weirdly refreshing as a result.
60
The Hollywood Reporter - Todd McCarthy
Once the pieces are all in their places, the deliberate set-up begins to pay some dividends to those who relish the form.
58
The A.V. Club - Mike D'Angelo
An opportunity to see the Sutherlands onscreen together — with Donald playing Kiefer’s disapproving preacher dad — is the only new thing that Forsaken has to offer. Whether that’s enough will vary according to taste.
