The mighty Mads Mikkelsen unleashes a maelstrom of bloodshed in the Wild West in The Salvation, a white-knuckle tale of revenge. When he lays waste to the scoundrels who killed his wife and son, a Danish ex-soldier (Mikkelsen) incurs the wrath of a sadistic gang leader hell-bent on hunting him down. Exploding with eye-popping action, dazzlingly dramatic frontier landscapes, and a smoldering performance by Eva Green, The Salvation is a rip-roaring, blood-spattered saga of sin and redemption.
“The story is as familiar as a classical Greek epic, an old B western, a Charles Bronson flick and, well, just about any chronicle of vengeance … A luridly beautiful, lavishly violent western, The Salvation takes place in an America shaped less by history than by the legacies of some of its chroniclers, from Sergio Leone to Clint Eastwood to Paul Thomas Anderson … In other words it’s another dream of America, feverish, lovely and absurd.” – Manohla Dargis, New York Times
“The Salvation is assembled of nothing but the most elemental components of the Western, which gives genre specialists a lot to recognize and analyze, and newcomers something to enjoy for its own sake.” – The Hollywood Reporter
“A very entertaining, pure breed, old school western with a modern twist - and mesmerizing casting.” – Movie Mezzanine
“This is a well made, passionately acted western that hands over plenty of bang for your fistful of dollars.” – The List
