Great Book, irrelevant movie

Rating: 5/10 (11 February 2000)

I was kind of getting my hopes up for this, mainly because i read the book unaware of the fact that it was a hoax. I was hoping that McTiernan/Chrichton had managed to put some of the great atmosphere of the book onto the silver screen, but no.
The result is a movie that is irrelevant, not important in any way. And no matter what; English-speaking Vikings (and Germans in warfilms for that matter) is c**p.
