The Salvation

Bad men will bleed Director Kristian Levring manages to breathe new life into the genre, with a classic tale of revenge. When Jon Jensen’s (Mads Mikkelsen) family are brutally murdered, he takes revenge on the killer. However, this doesn’t end the violence, this is just the beginning… When the killer’s brother comes seeking blood, the local townspeople betray Jon, leaving him to fight alone… Mads Mikkelsen’s (Hannibal) portrayal of a vengeance-filled widower is a tour de force; and sublimely supported by a strong cast, including Eva Green (Casino Royale; Penny Dreadful). If you see only one western this year, make it The Salvation.
