Forsaken comes from director Jon Cassar and screenwriter Brad Mirman, with Kiefer Sutherland, Donald Sutherland, Brian Cox, Michael Wincott, Aaron Poole, and Demi Moore in the cast. Jonathan Goldsmith composed the music, and Rene Ohashi was responsible for the cinematography. Critics have used terms like generic, cliché, and formulaic to describe this film, and those criticisms are difficult to dismiss. It’s a very conventional Western, sticking closely to the familiar plot of a retired gunslinger being drawn back into action while attempting to mend fences with his father—a common theme in 1950s Westerns. However, is there anything wrong with that? For fans of the genre, the answer is no. The film looks fantastic; the scenes featuring the two Sutherlands add a genuine emotional depth, and the cinematography is stunning (making it essential viewing on Blu-ray). It’s a movie that understands its purpose, never trying to be anything other than what it is: an old-fashioned Western for those who appreciate them. The antagonists are over-the-top—with one exception, Wincott, who plays a more refined character—and the hero is brooding and thoughtful. The story moves along at a good clip, contains compelling dramatic elements, and delivers an exciting conclusion as it should. Ultimately, there’s nothing groundbreaking here (aside from perhaps Cox's unusual dialogue!), so expecting something new would be unrealistic; but it’s a very enjoyable Western. 7/10
