A greatly balanced action movie

Rating: 8/10 (7 August 2012)

This movie is a gem of an action flick in my opinion. It has so much more to offer, the plots are not deep, the chars hardly evolve, and still value is added. The narrative beginning does fit perfectly, and let us see how the story began. From the start already we get faced with prejudice: the vicious tartar caravan attackers, the godless fearsome northmen. Even the northmen themselves have judged the Arab and his horse without knowing who he is. It is not hidden well, but some of the Northmen accept him as an equal straight from the beginning. The Story is simple, and still it caught and kept my attention the entire time. The comedy worked as well for me, if not laughing, it still got a smile.
Underestimated movie in my opninion, if this was a 100% American cast this would have hit gold in the USA.
8/10 for me
