Fist full of Dollars was the original, this is a weak attempt to use that storyline and make a Viking version. Acting 7/10, Plot 2/10 unoriginal, Overall 5/10.

Well. I was thinking about this as I went to the loo...how really awful it is. But then I thought....really, the people probably DD live in ramshackle little villages. They probably DID fall out with the people who lived over the hill. They probably DIDNT have a whole lot to say to each other and when they did, I might have been just as lame. They probably DID look as dirty.
Then I realised the lead was playing the villages off against each other and it is a Viking remake of Clint Eastwood's famous spaghetti Western. Is it Tgbau, or is it "A Fistful of Dollars"?
That made it a slightly better film, as at least there was a semblance of a plot - to copy the plot of another movie. Because otherwise, it didn't make any sense at all. Really.
Usually there is pretty scenery or something to make up for it. There wasn't.

If you are up for an amateurish Viking flick with decent norse theme, this is the movie for you. When the lone hero does his thing some other dudes tries to do theirs. Costumes is decent (armour not so much though It would work in a reenactment society wich it probably origins from).
The story is slow, built by a slow storyteller and he has a hard time convincing me to listen. The actors are quite good but the obviously lack directions. Music and sound is decent, but the dubbing has its flaws.
I would only recomend this movie to someone who are binging Viking movies. Otherwise, walk away!

I watched the movie which lasted almost 2 hours and I was curious enough to check it's ratings. By the time I read the 10/10 rating that 1-2 people reviewed with, I was kinda confused whether or not we watched the same movie. It was a bad movie, I feel like I wasted my time. There was nothing impressive to it. Some of the actors were decent, the rest of them felt like they were paying to actually be in the movie.
A fairly poor attempt, to save on money the costumes are terrible, the sets are pathetic, the editing is shocking.
It gets a 2 because I like Viking shows but this looks like it was made by the high school film club, probably best avoided.

I couldn't stop myself laughing from the very first moment the main character and his ridiculous haircut appeared on the screen. An iconic brutal viking figure that's gonna haunt me in my most terrible nightmares for sure.

It is a meandering series of half squirts at a coherent plot. The big bad Earl has 10 men plus his wife and himself that the goody takes down. The good thing about it is it ends.

It's 960 A.D., the waning years of the old Viking belief system. Christianity is slowly taking over, but there is still a large resistance to the new faith.
A stranger riding through the forest finds a woman bound and a hanging on a cross. He takes her down and brings her to a nearby village. He learns from an old trader that the lord in village, Earl Odisson, has expelled Gudrun and her Christian flock from the village and they are now at war.
The Stranger's natural instinct is to profit from this situation, but he soon learns that both sides are treacherous and makes a promise to the trader that neither shall prevail.
However, somewhere along the line he must put aside his greed and make a moral choice to become the man he is destined to be.
A thoroughly enjoyable film. Must be watched from beginning to end.

Seems like a pretty amateur effort, but the actors take it seriously and I enjoyed it. Sort of a Viking era Western. Some of the other reviewers are right in that the editing is terrible. Has lots of other flaws but it has a certain charm that you only find in independent flicks.
It is a good film, enjoyable to watch. However, the story is extremely close to the one of the Sergio Leone's film '' A fistful of dollars. "It must be remembered that Sergio Leone himself had drawn the story of his film from a previous work by Akira Kurosawa.

This Viking story was a pleasant surprise. An authentic, dark and bold viking spaghetti western, not overproduced, but honest and down to business. Visually stunning, convincing in it's simple and captivating journey into the darkness of mankind and their afflictions around 960 A.D in Denmark.
Intense and furious fight scenes that almost celebrates the old Macaroni Western masters like Kurosawa and Sergio Leone.
I'm glad I found this film especially when the poster doesn't really reflect or do this little amazing lowbudget film justice.
