Im a big fan of Madalena Alberto. So anything thats shes in I will watch even if its films like this that I wouldnt normaly watch.

Im not into Viking films so not really sure about how to judge the story. Of course she was amazing as usual. She shines in every one of her scenes. Her heartbreak and trauma her character goes through is so hard to take and she pulls it off beautifully. First time I believe that she has done a sword fight scene and it was so good.

I was able to follow the story. Its two warring familys. The two feuding families, one of them are into bloodthirsty fighting games and the other just want to be left in peace.

One ends up trying to hunt down the other. I liked the main guy and his brother was funny.

I stuck it out until the end. I feel it was a good film but it could have been better. There was some dialogue from some of the characters I couldnt follow so skiped some bits.

Took a chance on this after seeing some good reviews.

To be fair it starts well with great visuals and great soundtrack. Then that first fight scene falls apart, felt a bit like some pro wrestling when you can tell that the punches don't land.

Nearly gave up on the whole film but I did continue to watch and things did get better thankfully.

Whoever did the music for this film did a fantastic job, I could listen to this on its own.

There was on scene in this that the acting was really bad where the young Viking was talking about revenge but I had to put on the subtitles as I couldn't understand what he was saying, it was some think fake Norwegian accent.

Not all the acting was bad, the main guy was fantastic and the leading lady steals every scene she's in.

I'm sure I saw one of the Vikings with trainers on. If they cared about film making then someone should have spotted that.

Overall, this is watchable with some good moments and fights.

I do like a Viking movie or tv series, I loved The Last Kingdom and Vikings, but this was just Meh, I read the reviews and thought I'd give it a try, sadly, right from the start it proved disappointing........

The fight scene at the beginning was just laughable, now it didn't state in the prologue weather this was a comedy or not, but I'm assuming it wasn't meant to be, but it was just bad, very, very bad, the acting was like watching 6 years olds in a school play.

How other reviewers found this good or even remotely enjoyable is lost on me.

Seriously if you want a laugh at the bad acting, and have nothing better to do on a wet evening watch it, if not, save yourself... and run for the hills instead.
