Hammer of the Gods
(2013)
Directed by Farren
Blackburn this film stars Charlie Bewley, Clive Standen, Michael
Jibson and Alexandra Dowling. In 871 the son of a dying Viking king
is sent to find his older brother.
If you have even a
vague knowledge of history you will see more inaccuracies here than
you can shake a stick at. The plot such as it is is fairly simple but
has little going for it on a character level and the religious themes
seem poorly considered, certainly not fleshed out to any depth. About
the best thing you can say about this film is that there are some
decent landscapes but they are not used to their maximum, this is
certainly no Valhalla Rising (2009) and it pales in comparison in
nearly every respect.
2/5
