A bloody-knuckled fightfest, back-dropped by the beautiful Welsh countryside, this defies its budget to bring a little epic to Viking Britain. Read full review

It’s hardly high art, but for a cheapjack homegrown action flick this is surprisingly solid. Read full review

The Guardian Peter Beech

Bewley is persuasive as the boy who would be king, while Michael Jibson stands out among the support as a foulmouthed berserker, along with Cosmo, who brings a touch of class without ever having to get up from his bed. Read full review

Gamely directed and acted, but a little threadbare in terms of plot and design, it’s suitably savage but not quite fun enough to forgive the flaws. Read full review

An unbearably stupid exercise in gore that deserves to die the same cruel, soulless death that nearly every character does at some point in the film. Read full review

I liked this movie. I'm not much of a reviewer but this was actually watchable and I enjoyed every bit of it. While there wasn't much of a story.. It set a nice tone and had a half decent twist.

The production values are very high, good sound mix, good photography. Somehow it was tough to connect with the characters, they were bland. The action was well done but too gory, that was a real turn off, maybe later on but right away it was not appealing.
