Viking brothers do battle with Saxons in this brutal, pointless 9th-century action adventure
Set in 871AD, in these isles, this idiotic bone cruncher centres on Steinar (Charlie Bewley), warrior son of King Bagsecg (James Cosmo), leader of the Viking invaders. He's dispatched on a mission-ineffable by his dying father to find Hakan, Steinar's long-absent elder brother, to lead a heathen army against the Anglo-Saxons. His journey across the Brecon Beacons is a bloody trek into a medieval heart of darkness, as confused and clunking as it is pointless. A nasty, brutal and relatively short entertainment, aimed at middle-of-the-woad Conanists.
