Gaup deftly keeps track of the major betrayals without making them seem too obvious, but we're never as involved with the characters as we were in "Pathfinder."

The Last King's basic story ... serves as the template for some stunning shots of frozen landscapes and some brilliantly done action sequences.

It wasn't an action-packed flick that kept me on the edge of my seat but I enjoyed the history and the scenery and the Tormund. Oh, and the Vikings on skis.

A film that ends up being stimulating (and effective) for something as simple as provoking interest and curiosity for the deepest recesses of the historical period that recreates. [Full review in Spanish]

For most Americans, struggling with subtitles and understanding another culture is just too difficult. I love foreign movies. With a mixture of action and misadventure, redemption, understated romance, humor, and maybe the start of the winter Olympics, this Norwegian Origin story has plenty for everyone.

A man seeks redemption through protecting the infant heir to the throne of Norway. Some exciting action sequences. It's almost enough to make me want to learn how to ski. (Damn you, Game of Thrones, for conditioning me into seeing Lannisters and Littlefingers in all these period pieces.)
