Quotes

Arjan van Diemen: During the war, me and my men would cut off the trigger fingers of the bravest British officers we captured - only the bravest, mind, the ones most worthy of respect. Do you understand that? That's what I did to people I respected.
Kereama: Doesn't leave much hope for me then, does it?
Arjan van Diemen: Hope kills fools like you every day.

User Reviews

A movie very much like "Serephim Falls". Good movie, good acting. You must be in the mood for this one. I say B-

"They're gonna hang me for something I didn't do." Arjan (Winstone) is hired to track down and kill Kereama (Morrison) who is accused of murdering a soldier. When Arjan finally finds him Kereama swears he is innocent, when Arjan begins to believe him he is stuck in a bad spot. Kill him or be killed himself. This is a good movie, but very slow moving. The best thing I can say about this is that if you liked "Serephim Falls" you will love this one as well. It centers around the two main characters and what the deal with in one trying to do his job and the other convincing him he is wrong. The acting is very good and the scenery is outstanding. If you are looking for a movie to just put in and watch, this is not it. This is definitely one to pay attention to. Overall, a good movie, but very slow moving and not much action. I guess this is a western, but again it's a western the same way "Serephim Falls" is. Both good, but must be in the mood for them. I give this a B-.

Would I watch again? - Probably not.
