The Salvation (2014)
7/10
Thank you sir, I mean Denmark, may I have another?

True cinéphiles will get my reference, and that is how I felt, having a second western for the evening after watching this film.

Well I may dust off "Silverado" or "Unforgiven" for tonight!

I am so glad westerns are made from all over, New Zeland, Mexico, Denmark, Italy, and I completely disagree with the "pastry" reference from one of the reviewers...

Denmark has proved enough about good film-making, not just that, Hollywood itself likes re-making Denmark's series/ movies (Bron/Broen -The Bridge, "The Killing", "The girl with the Dragon Tattoo", "Headhunters", "Easy money",to mention some of the list)

And Mads Mikkelsen, has become one of my favorite actors he is what Liam Neeson, in my book,has never accomplished, that is... real acting. Whenever I watch Neeson I think he is going to burst laughing in the middle of a dramatic scene.

Well this is a review for a good western, and even though Sergio Leone was awesome, "The Salvation" stands on its own.

The best of all, there is not gratuity nudity or offensive language, but it has all the elements and a good story behind the shootings and violence, not great but good enough!.

My only complain would be the acting of Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Delarue, and thankfully Eva Green do not speak a word through the whole movie (I also believe she may burst laughing in the middle of a dramatic scene).

After my meanness towards Neeson and Green I have nothing else but recommend "The Salvation"
