[image] Forsaken (2015) While the plot obviously is not completely original, this (Kiefer and Donald Sutherland) western was a decent watch nevertheless. The thing about this Oater though is that it takes a little while to get going, but if you stick with it there’s some good action and at times pretty violent and decent performances from the Sutherlands. As for the rest of the cast they’re not bad either, especially (Michael Wincott) who IMO steals the film as a hired gun working for the lead…

Just viewed this one. Same thoughts as you on the film. Thought Donald was going a bit on auto pilot mode.

Just viewed Forsaken myself. There’s a severe lack of originality here, you can see where the plot is exactly going after the first 15 minutes, however the decent production values make it quite passable. None of the performances were truly good enough, save for that of Michael Wincott perhaps (he kept bringing Val Kilmer in Tombstone to mind, which was a bit annoying after some point). You’re not missing much if you skip this one altogether.

He’s missed his mother’s funeral, and his childhood sweetheart Demi Moore from their Brat Pack days has been married eight years since to a local bellend. Still, John Henry’s back at la…

Nope hadn’t looked that closely I guess… but isn’t it a George Sherman movie? Anyways, last one I saw was Forsaken, and I liked it. Review coming soon on NK (German) and in English on Furious Cinema

Nope, Jesse Hibbs directed it. And yes, I liked Forsaken too. Donald and Kiefer Sutherland as father and son, Demi Moore in a very cool secondary role. Lone_Gringo wrote a short review. (I’ll never get used to Kiefer as a first name – it means “jaw [bone]” or “pine tree” in German.)

I didn’t rate Forsaken. Very ordinary, I thought. I was hoping for more I guess from what had previously been a fruitful partnership 'twixt Kiefer Sutherland and director Jon Cassar. Would’ve been cool to have had Donald play Jack Bauer’s father Philip in season 6 of 24.

I thought the gunfights kicked a lot of ass, and the movie did its best not to become a cliche. Medium-rate effort but still entertaining to watch
