dead child ✔️ implied rape ✔️ torture ✔️ another implied rape ✔️ more torture ✔️ Mads being sad ✔️ dead dogs ❌ (not this time thank God) I just want to stare at Mads in peace. That’s all I ever wanted. Romantic comedy WHEN, sir?!

Relatively unreconstructed and a brisk 88 minutes. Even if there’s not much to this it’s nice to see a straightforward revenge western with few revisionist tendencies. The doses of grisly violence, South Africa standing in for the Old West, the international cast, the simple narrative, and the vague anti-capitalist threads all place this pretty squarely in the German strain of spaghetti western offshoots. It’s easy to imagine this with, say, Klaus Kinski and Gianni Garko. Although Nieves Navarro (just to pick a name at random) would never have been able to pull off what you get here from the increasingly incomparable Eva Green.

Eva Green e Mads Mikkelsen num faroeste onde os protagonistas só entrelaçam seus caminhos na cena final. Eva não pronuncia uma unidade de palavra no filme, ela interpreta uma muda que conheceu todas as formas de violência, já o personagem de Mads é alguém que apesar de viver na rudeza e violência do meio oeste americano é apresentado a pior delas na chegada de sua família, assim começa um filme de vingança no faroeste americano.

A Danish war veteran (Mads Mikkelsen) emigrates to America in 1864. Seven years later, he brings his wife to live with him. On the way to his homestead, his family is killed and he puts down the murderers. Unfortunately, the dead man is the brother of a psychotic land Baron (Jeffery Dean Morgan) and all hell breaks loose. This is a very solid Danish western. Though it doesn’t bring anything new to the table, it has a somewhat fresh perspective by not being themed as through the eyes of an American. This cast also really elevates this film into something worth seeing. Mads Mikkelsen makes everything he’s in better. I would watch him in just about anything. He even gets…

A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye. As a sucker for both westerns and Mads Mikkelsen, The Salvation didn’t have to try too hard to please me. But regardless, the film presents the long established tropes of revenge, retribution, and the lawful good man versus the sinister evil figure in a fiery shootout. And even with these age old building blocks of story-building — as old as the genre of western itself — The Salvation manages to bring some vigour and new ideas into the now feeble arena of current western films, a genre that once teemed with life and defined the Hollywood scene. Mikkelsen plays the protagonist, Jon: a dane who had fought as a soldier…

If you enjoy Westerns and wish there were more Westerns, then watch this. Because it’s a Western. And it has Mads Mikkelsen playing another stoic badass. Naturally, tragic circumstances spark a trail of revenge and a ton of people get shot. Western?

Mid-tier western that doesn’t bring much new to the genre. Some badass stoic characters though and the South African landscapes look fantastic.

What a Fantastic Revenge Western! I’m always looking for good recently made Westerns, for some reason they are harder to find and are a dime a dozen. Mads Milkensen and Jeffery Dean Morgan are perfectly cast. An Epic frontier tale, beautiful cinematography, Set Direction and Costume Design. The colors really pop in this film.

Knew this was a little cooked when I saw all the danish national endowment credits at the beginning. They just didn’t have the production juice like that back in 2014 and the CGI oil derricks at the end certainly didn’t prove me wrong. Mads totally innocent as always. Mikael Persbrandt was my lowkey MVP. Eva Green! Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in sometime. I remember she went stupid in 300: Rise of an Empire. I gotta rewatch that.…

I’m a sucker for Mads Mikkelsen films so this movie was a must-see. Short, about an hour and a half. Not much talking. The acting does the talking. Plenty of epic western shootouts. A “classic” western movie, worth a watch.

What The Salvation does, it does well, but after a genuinely engaging first act, I was hoping for a bit more.

Var að búast við epískum senum með Mads sem kúreka. Sérstaklega miðað við hvað vondu kallarnir gerðu við hann, en mér fannst epíkin ekki koma til skila. Atriðið sem ég var mest hrifinn af var leikið af Mikael sem leikur bróðir Mads. 4/10

Felt a little empty and not all too exciting, but it’s worth watching, if you want a western featuring Mads Mikkelsen.

I mean, it started great. But man, it was so slow and drawn out for a 90 minute film that by the end I kinda forgot what they were even fighting about.

I just couldn’t get into this at all. With Mass Mikkelsen and Eva Green I thought this would be a real barn burner, but not even close. Oh and I have officially decided that Jeffrey Dean Morgan is not my cup of tea.

القصة ك انتقام ويسترن مطروقة وشبعنا منها وما فيها أي ابتكار يذكر بالورق اقل من عادي ، بس الميزة بالفلم إنه ببداية حامية ومشتعلة من أول الدقايق تسحبك مادس ميكلسن اخخ يتكلم بعيونه نظراته لحالها تسوى صفحات حوار كاملة وتوصل بدون ما ينطق بحرف و جيفري دين مورغان فهو كمان نقطة العلام بالفلم بكل أمانة نازل بثقله وهيبته اللي تعطيك طعم الويسترن الحقيقي الفلم مو شين أبداً ويجي منه واللي رفعه وسنده هو ثقل الممثلين مو جودة الورق

“Just a Shepherd, guarding his flock” Not a bad watch, one of those movies you watch for the actors and end up enjoying it Even though it’s your typical western revenge movie it’s that in the best way possible without being too bloody and too extreme I mean it has Mads Mikkelsen & Eva Green who wouldn’t enjoy it?

A fun budget western. Every woman is constantly assaulted and/ or murdered. Our stoic and hardened ex family man will kill the men that kill until there are no more killers left alive. Guy falls off roof✅ Guy gets drug by horses, neigh CG fire and smoke, but real sets in real dirt, with real ponies.

Honestly, I really liked this film. I found Delarue being an amazing villain. I had already gotten that after the first half of the film, but his scene with Madelaine just sold it. “You felt that, didn’t you? Of course you felt it.“ Followed by, “What those savages did, taking your tongue—I know it must’ve been horrible for you but I see it as a gift to me.“ Felt just so realistically inhumane. Those lines deliveries couldn’t have been better.…

92 minutes of pure agony. Do NOT fucking watch this. Cried violently 2 times. Left me a fucking trauma. But all in all, yes. This is “The” western.

i’ll front this by saying i’m not a big fan of westerns as a whole. while there are some great movies, i feel like a lot fall short in how limited they are with the stories. a lot of them feel very similar and the acting i feel is often way too dramatized. this one in particular is mid in every category. mid storyline, mid characters and development, predictable ending, and so on. i feel bad because im sure some…

This movie just wasn’t for me. I enjoy the plot and how it was shot. Love Mads, of course. And I love seeing him get revenge. But I’m not a western girlie, and that’s okay.

Ein nihilistischer, dreckiger Rachewestern, in dem Mads Mikkelsen als Ex-dänischer Soldat im 19. Jahrhundert Rache für seine Familie an einem Gangsterboss (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) nehmen möchte. Der Cast passt perfekt, das Setting ist raus, die Bösen stechen nur dadurch hervor, dass sie noch grausame als die asoziale Gesellschaft ist, und immer wieder sehen wir, dass in der Western-Kleinstadt jeder bleiben muss, wo er ist. Die Gewalt ist auf die Laufzeit gesehen selten, aber wenn, dann richtig unangenehm. Obwohl er visuell…
