How is 'Seraphim Falls'?

Wondering if it is as gritty and graphic as 'The Proposition'?

I don't consider it to be quite as good as the Proposition, and definitely not as graphic (although there is some moderate bloodshed). It is a very deliberately-paced film, as well, and won't satisfy you if you're expecting a "run & gun" Western. My (brief) thoughts from elsewhere:

My only minor complaints: There are a few fairly generic flashback sequences, and it's initially amusing to hear how Neeson and Brosnan (mostly) cover their accents by continually speaking while either out of breath or in a gravelly baritone.

The audio commentary with starts off really slow but it gets better an hour into the movie. Pierce Brosnan keeps it lively when he brings up a hilarious deleted scene that isn't on the DVD.

I really enjoyed it, it's a slower paced western but its pretty satisfying over all.

Thumbs up from me. I thought it was a gorgeous, occasionally powerful Western with a couple of great action scenes and a wonderfully bizarre final stretch. Liked the ending, as well.
