Starring Karl Urban, Moon Bloodgood (I kid you not), and Russell Means. Period action adventure. Written by Laeta Kalogridis, Nils Gaup. Directed by Marcus Nispel.
FILM SYNOPSIS: An action-adventure set in the time when Vikings tried to conquer North America, Pathfinder tells the heroic story of a young Norse boy left behind after his clan shipwrecks on the Eastern shores. Despite his lineage, the boy is raised by the very Indians his kinsmen set out to destroy. Now, as the Vikings return to stage another barbaric raid on his village, the 25-year-old Norse warrior (Karl Urban) wages a personal war to stop the Vikings’ trail of death and destruction. PREVIEW REVIEW: From opening to close, it’s replete with brutal imagery, reminding us of the damage Middle Age swords and maces can inflict. Like Conan, Tarzan and Rambo, the lead bests his foes by slicing and dicing with just a little more skill than his bulky opponents. Darkly filmed, unevenly paced, and directed with no more on its mind than to portray mindless savagery, much like a sadistic video game. Pathfinder’s main audience will undoubtedly consist of those among us who enjoy seeing heads cut off or bashed in. It should do well. There’s a scary thought.
Distributor:
The only thing that I liked about this movie is the sets and costumes. On the whole its a mediocre movie that is worth a single try.
