Intelligent, yet dull

Rating: 6/10 (3 March 2000)

Intelligently scripted and crafted, THE 13TH WARRIOR delivers well. However, when the action stops, and the long expanse of verbiage kicks in...the film comes to a screeching halt. Omar Sharif is not put to good use, as the main character's translator. Frankly, little more than a cameo spot.
Entertaining enough, yet not for the short of patience.
