Viking: The Berserkers is a 2014 historical/action film set in early medieval Scandinavia. The movie was directed by Antony Smith and stars Sol Heras, Douglas Russell, and Amber Jean Rowan. The plot follows a young man named Viking (played by Sol Heras) who is sent away from his village and family to become a warrior. Viking is taken in by a group of skilled fighters known as the Berserkers, who train him in the ways of combat and help him hone his skills.
As Viking trains and grows stronger, he begins to discover a darker side to the Berserkers - a group of brutal warriors who go into battle with a fierce rage that makes them nearly unstoppable. Despite their reputation for bloodlust and violence, Viking remains loyal to the Berserkers and fights alongside them as they face off against a rival tribe.
Alongside Viking, the movie follows the story of Erik (Douglas Russell), a young blacksmith who dreams of becoming a warrior but is considered too weak for the role. Erik's story intertwines with Viking's as he eventually joins the Berserkers and gains a new sense of purpose.
The romantic subplot of the movie revolves around Agnes (Amber Jean Rowan), a shieldmaiden who has a complicated relationship with Viking. As Viking becomes more deeply involved with the Berserkers, Agnes must weigh her feelings for him against her loyalty to the tribe.
The movie is a visual spectacle, featuring sweeping landscapes of forests, mountains, and fjords. The fight scenes are intense and brutal, with plenty of blood and gore, and the soundtrack adds to the epic feel of the movie.
Viking: The Berserkers is not without its flaws, however. The dialogue can be clunky and the pacing can be uneven at times, particularly in the middle of the movie. Some of the characters are underdeveloped and the romantic subplot feels somewhat tacked-on.
Overall, however, Viking: The Berserkers is an entertaining action movie that does a decent job of capturing the spirit of Viking culture. The performances are solid across the board, and the movie is sure to appeal to fans of historical fiction and action films.
Viking: The Berserkers is a 2015 thriller with a runtime of 1 hour and 33 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.3.
