Very good Movie

Rating: 10/10 (30 August 1999)

To really appreciate this movie, I think you need to read the book (Eaters of the Dead by Michael Crichton). The book is written telling the story of the deeds of Ibn and his Viking buddies. Fortunately the movie followed the book almost word for word and scene for scene. The depictions in the book were realized in the movie, which is not always the case. Some might say there was very little dialog thus little story but they missed the whole point. This story is gives us a unique look into what life must have been like without a large government supporting us. Where the difference between life and death is in our own hands. This was a very basic movie about comrades in arms and the acceptance of an outsider into the brotherhood of the organization. It was about base things of life that don't need a fancy dialog to receive you receive it directly to the gut. If you don't get this movie you have never struggled with life or seeing your efforts pay off through teamwork...
