Blood, Blades, and Berserkers: The 13th Warrior
Antonio Banderas, our charismatic hero, is Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan, a 10th-century Arab poet who gets himself mixed up in some serious Viking business.
The 13th Warrior is a cinematic adventure that blends action, culture clash, mysticism, and heroism into a thrilling package. Antonio Banderas, our charismatic hero, is Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan, a 10th-century Arab poet who gets himself mixed up in some serious Viking business. The attention to detail in the Viking setting is commendable, and it immerses you in this world of longships, mead halls, and epic sagas. But there's also a touch of the supernatural, and it keeps you guessing, never quite sure what’s lurking in the darkness.
