Pathfinder

2007-Action/Epic
Staring:
Moon Bloodgood & Karl Urban

Viking Vs. Native American Warriors!
That enough for you? How about mix in Rambo 1st Blood? Now that should definitely guarantee an awesome and Manly Viewing... right?

Synopsis:
Story of a child abandoned by his Viking father in the new land (America) and raised by the Native Americans. An outcast by both his Nationality and Adopted Family he struggled in finding his purpose. Then one day the Vikings arrived to pillage and destroy the village. The 'Pathfinder' must now fend of his Past and protect the family that does not accept him.

All-in-All:
The question is posed, is this film Great? Vikings Vs. Native American Warriors, and mix "Rambo first Blood". The ingredients of a perfect Action Epic in the vein of "Gladiator" and "300". The visuals are beautiful, the costumes are amazing and terrifying, and the soundtrack perfectly used to amplify the effects. But what about the actual film? The film itself has minimal lines, you can view 20min. of footage without one solid word spoken. I have no problem with this, due to the average acting/performances, and the pacing of the film is horrible. In the end, the trailer gives you this idea of all action and brutality, but what you get is Zen like stillness and random shots of 'Stylish' brutality.
