Norse Opera dealing with a group of Vikings : Tom Hopper, James Norton, Ken Dunken, among others, are shipwrecked at the Scotland coast, then a panicked race begins . There they meet a princess : Charlie Murphy, about to marry , as well as a Catholic priest, Ryan Kwanten, with real fighting skills. Then they are relentlessly pursued by an army of local warriors : Ed Skrein, Anatole Taubman, who will stop at nothing to kill them. The losers will pay with their lives. There's no time to bleed. In exile a hero will rise.
Viking adventure full of noisy action, thrills, chills, visceral violence, sword-play and impressive battles. A well-done in comic-book level costume adventure with non-stop action from start to finish , resulting to be entertaining enough . It contains unstoppable action with merciless fights and chases with no rest, in which the small bunch of Vikings are attacked, assaulted, besieged at a tower and ultimately surrounded next to a cliff. The flick being played by a good cast of notorious actors as Tom Hopper, Ryan Kwanten, James Norton, Ed Skrein, and only woman : Charlie Murphy, all of them are pretty well. The motion picture was competently directed by Claudio Fah at his best .
