It's hammer time - with sword and arrow too - before the film even establishes which side it's on.

Every bloody Viking cliche in the book, save for SPAM, and singing about it.

Audience Reviews for Northmen: A Viking Saga

In a curious switch, an invading Viking horde set on doing the usual Viking activities and atrocities for which they are world renowned, becomes the protagonist after their vessel is sunk in a storm. Forced to escape overland, hounded by mercenaries, and traveling with a princess hostage, the film's question is whether they can escape to rape and pillage again. So its a chase film set in the old world, but it does invoke the setting and the cliché characters are portrayed well enough to involve the casual viewer.
