Enjoyable movie
Although some of the storyline seems a little improbable (Arabian guy goes on a rescue mission with a bunch of Norsemen and learns their language by listening to them speaking), this movie is nevertheless enjoyable. With strong performances especially from Antonio Banderas, Vladimir Kulich and Dennis Storhoi (the latter two making believable Norsemen), the film moves along well, and has some humour and tension in equal measures. Slightly predictable, but still worth seeing.
The 13th Warrior
Antonio Banderas plays an arab who is banished from his own land and joins a group of vikings help protect a village from a dark evil. A truely entertaining film all three of my teenagers enjoyed this film so much we went out and bought it.
