It is certainly one of my movies. Keep Banderas out, the cast is humble but makes a great job. I loved its style which gives a real cinema pleasure. But what I liked most in this movie is that the story is rich and beyond cliches. You find all in one: Vikings, battles, horses, fear, courage, action and adventure. For me it sounds very sympathetic to see a muslim hero ( Antonio Banderas as Ahmad Ibn Fadlan ) in a Hollywood film. Don't miss it!
