Storyline

A triumphant epic of survival and a tale of powerful womanhood and resistance against the unforgiving cruelty of a hell on earth. Our heroine is Liz (Dakota Fanning), carved from the beautiful wilderness, full of heart and grit, hunted by a vengeful Preacher (Guy Pearce) - a diabolical zealot and her twisted nemesis. But Liz is a genuine survivor; she's no victim - a woman of fearsome strength who responds with astonishing bravery to claim the better life she and her daughter deserve. Fear not. Retribution is coming.

Quotes

[first lines]
Liz: [narrating] As life progresses, images blur. All that remains are memories. Some of them true, some of them false. I remember her well - at least I think I do. She was a warrior. In the old century, you had to be in order to survive.

User Reviews

One of the worst movies

Don't waist your time watching this movie. Really unrealistic, poor Terrantino wanna be. The evil one can do anything and be everywhere all the time and every one else acts with the IQ of a sheep. The only thing this movie is about, is making violent, disgusting scenes to shock the viewers. And this is not working very well, and the story is without direction or meaning.
