A bit slow but engaging!

Rating: Null/10 (20 September 1999)

Two years in the making and $100 million plus budget this movie does have alot to live upto but often fails...For onething the movie is shot in the most gloomiest manner making it virtualy impossible to consontrate.Bandera's has very little to do in this movie and so does everyone else as the story takes place in the lamest possible way.
The idea is very intruiging and the battle scenes are impressive but they are not very long and they lack the necessary tension needed to keep the story moving in a positive direction.Director John Mctiernan must have had a time doing this movie.
The story is about a group of Viking's sent to rescue a village plauged by a mysterious group of warriors of unknown human origin.They attack the village in the night and leave no trails of their wounded.
Bandera's playing an Arabian Prince in this movie is the rookie warrior who sets sail on the journey .
It could have been alot better than this if they paid more attension to plot than detail.
