The 13th Warrior (1999)


Directed By: John McTiernan



In AD 922, an important emissary who is banished from his homeland. The nomadic outcast comes across a band of Norse warriors who coerce him into joining them when they are summoned to fight mysterious creatures legendary for consuming every living thing in their path. Eventually surrounded by the frightening and ferocious foe, Ibn must conquer his personal fears and help battle the illusive invaders--who emerge out of the shroud of fog in the black of the night.

For some unknown reason, this movie gets alot of shit from the general public. (well, most of these movies do).  But this is a very well made, Hollywood production.  The story is based on a Michael Chrighton novel which is obviously inspired by the Beowulf tale.  The action is intense, it's bloody, the story is good,and the acting is excellent (even from Antonio).


If you're a fan of Braveheart or movies like Troy or alexander, I would definitely recommend this.
