It should have been so cool to see Mads Mikkelsen, Eva Green, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan in an old school revenge western together. They all look the part and do fine but man it's not enough to save The Salvation from being an uninteresting movie. The cinematography looks pretty;apparently they filmed on location in South Africa. And Eva Green is playing a mute! It speaks volumes to her talent that she does do good in the role. But again, this movie is boring and dull.

'The Salvation' is nothing more than the most telling revenge western. There's little-to-no character to be found. It's just a simple plot constantly moving towards it's completely expected shootout finale. You can have a simple plot with easily identifiable character archetypes and lots of gun shooting. That's what most western's used to be all about. However, this movie just lacks engagement. I'm watching all of the tropes come at me with hardly any stimulation. I couldn't even enjoy those common occurrences on a mild level. There's nothing particularly bad here, which makes my ranking difficult. This movie is the unmemorable kind of mediocre.
