The Northman Review: A Ferocious Viking Epic

Alexander Skarsgård cuts a swath of bloody vengeance in a ferocious Viking epic. The Northman vividly combines a Hamlet-esque narrative with Scandinavian history and mythology. The film inserts fantasy elements into its brutal depiction of murder, looting, and pillaging. The Norse gods are invoked and bestow favor on a mighty protagonist. His savage odyssey is an action juggernaut of hacked limbs and torn entrails. The Northman is well-acted, directed, and undeniably thrilling; but suffers from rote predictability through a long runtime.
