The Salvation
Set in 1870s America, Mads Mikkelsen (The Hunt) leads this Western as a mild-mannered settler who dishes out bloody revenge on the men who murdered his family. But when the fatal act gains the attention of more ruthless men, the townsfolk turn their backs on the foreigner, forcing him to take the gunmen on by himself.

Not the deepest western you’ll ever see, but it sure knows how to pack a punch (and fire off a round).

It’s a welcome throwback, moving at a brisk clip and allowing its impressive cast to embody some cherished archetypes.

The dirty compañeros of the old Spaghetti West ride again in this stirring tale of hate, murder and revenge.
