In 2007, Brosnan appeared in the film "Seraphim Falls" alongside fellow Irishman Liam Neeson. The film was released for limited screenings on 26 January 2007 to average reviews. Kevin Crust of the "Los Angeles Times" noted that Brosnan and Neeson made "fine adversaries;" Michael Rechtshaffen of "The Hollywood Reporter" thought that they were "hard-pressed to inject some much-needed vitality into their sparse lines." During the same year, Brosnan spoke of making a western with fellow Irish actors Gabriel Byrne and Colm Meaney. In that same year Brosnan starred as Tom Ryan in "Butterfly on a Wheel". The film was released in the United States under the name of "Shattered," and in Europe as "Desperate Hours".
