The Salvation – No Saving Graces Here Seeing this was listed as a Danish movie had hoped for something different, tuned out to be a Danish Dumper.

There should be a law stating that when a movie maker copies another’s work they should pay some sort of fine – this Danish flick is a dismal rip-off of Leone’s equally overblown ‘Once Upon a Time in the West’ which in turn was a rip-off of numerous American westerns and John Ford. All the tired old clichés are trundled out shamelessly – the town full of cowardly citizens (including the sheriff) afraid to stand up to a bunch of ruthless bullies (who they actually seem to outnumber) The peace-loving settler whose family are for no good reason, cruelly destroyed - followed by the impossibly contrived revenge plot. The baddies are badder-than-bad and kill for little or no reason (just to manipulate an easily pleased audience into wanting them violently slaughtered) The music imitates Morricone all over again, as do the camera angles and desert settings. This set-up is so tired it’s almost sleep-inducing. Strictly for lovers of copycat movies or the easily conned western geeks.… Expand
