Vikings stranded in Scottish lands rescue a princess hoping for reward. But her father is nuts. Taking her with them, they attempt to make it to sea. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this film. The director is unabashedly a fan of B movies and this is certainly that. It's a throwback to adventure films of the 70s and 80s. If you want insightful cinema, which I can enjoy as well, this isn't for the cerebral only. This is a popcorn flick with solid action.

Offensively bad Scottish accents. Surely one of the production team went to Scotland at some point 😂😂😂😂

It could've been so good. Acting was ok, right scenes weren't too bad. Just some major plot holes and silly things that drove me nuts. The Vikings are fleeing for their lives but somehow have all this time to set trap after elaborate trap. Also, the wolves total number of fighting men, seems to change from moment to moment. Borders on ridiculous. Also, why did the king want to kill his daughter? Made no sense.

The close shots and fighting scenes made this an interesting watch... but the storyline (to me) felt too long.

An OK action saga that really doesn't tell much more than a simple chase and fight story of shipwrecked Vikings.

Shipwrecked Nords battle medieval Scottish hordes in this respectable multinational actioner.

It's hammer time - with sword and arrow too - before the film even establishes which side it's on.

As formulaic as it is monotonous.

Every bloody Viking cliche in the book, save for SPAM, and singing about it.
