Reasons to watch The Thirteenth Warrior

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2008)

It is so very rare in film or stage to have the serendipity of a very fine actor physically, vocally, and energetically, melded with the character he is depicting to become one of the few who elevate acting into something mystical and deeply memorable. It could be compared to the philosophy at the heart of the movie, "Camelot": for one brief shining moment an apex is attained. Dennis Stohoi's Herger the Joyous in "The Thirteenth Warrior" accomplished that.
It is also a travesty that such a performance is not given its full recognition and stature in the world of film-making. I would like to see it listed as one of the great performances of all time. Or at least to have a 10th Anniversary extended DVD.
There are ten reasons to watch this film:
1. Dennis Storhoi 2. Dennis Storhoi 3. Dennis Storhoi 4. Dennis Storhoi 5. Dennis Storhoi 6. Dennis Storhoi 7. Dennis Storhoi 8. Dennis Storhoi 9. Dennis Storhoi 10. Dennis Storhoi
In my opinion, his "Herger the Joyous" is one of the luminous portrayals in film, and certainly my all time favorite.
