2.5/4

As always, Jensen and company are making a screwball comedy, with dark and violent undertones, about finding a community of exceedingly strange strangers with whom you can be as broken and deluded as you need to be.

5/5

It’s a journey down a resonant rabbit hole with Mikkelsen, hilariously permed, fearlessly silly, emotionally complex and endlessly endearing.

‘The Last Viking' sports a cockeyed streak a mile wild, trafficking in the best kind of straight-faced absurdism—wry, but simultaneously genuine and sincere.

4/5

Mikkelsen is glorious, but so is Kaas as a man with serious anger management problems. Somehow, despite the bloodshed, this is a genuinely sweet story about sibling love.

[Not] interested in playing safe, whether in tone, setting or message. That absolute refusal to sanitise any of the bleaker topics here makes The Last Viking a brave movie indeed. It’s just a little too raw, in every sense of the word.

Dares audiences to laugh at the unlikeliest of characters, then makes them care deeply in spite of themselves. Blending dark comedy, brutal violence, and unexpected heart, it’s a wickedly entertaining ride that’s as disturbing as it is disarmingly human.

I don’t know how they keep finding new ways to blow the audience away. Another instant classic! Huge thanks to the team for creating such a brilliant movie.

I think it's a pointless movie. I don't think there was a real plot, and I don't feel you got any answers to what the movie actually started out focusing on. A very lame film
