Gaup deftly keeps track of the major betrayals without making them seem too obvious, but we're never as involved with the characters as we were in "Pathfinder."

Rated: 2.5/4

Alternative Lens

The Last King's basic story ... serves as the template for some stunning shots of frozen landscapes and some brilliantly done action sequences.

Rated: 7/10

It wasn't an action-packed flick that kept me on the edge of my seat but I enjoyed the history and the scenery and the Tormund. Oh, and the Vikings on skis.

A film that leaves us great features: evocative names, credible settings and, above all, amazing warriors. [Full review in Spanish]

A film that ends up being stimulating (and effective) for something as simple as provoking interest and curiosity for the deepest recesses of the historical period that recreates. [Full review in Spanish]

For most Americans, struggling with subtitles and understanding another culture is just too difficult. I love foreign movies. With a mixture of action and misadventure, redemption, understated romance, humor, and maybe the start of the winter Olympics, this Norwegian Origin story has plenty for everyone.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
