Title: A Norse Saga
Review: "The 13th Warrior" is set in the days of the Vikings long ago. The story is told from the perspective of a Muslim poet who was banished from the royal court due to a jealousy. He is sent as a diplomat to serve as ambassador with the people to the far north, in an effort to keep him as far away as possible.The northern lands are the lands of the Vikings. If you have ever read "Beowulf," then much of this will ring a bell. A group of heroes are asked to come help a village who is tormented by demons. After the bones have been cast, 13 warriors must sail to the rescue. The 13th must not be a Viking, so the Muslim ambassador, played by Banderas, joins the mission. We will see him grow to become man as he joins in the adventure.Seeing the poet learn about the Viking culture is a lesson for us also. Their learning about him was just as enjoyable. The action from the fighting or the mystery of their foe is well worth the time spent to watch the movie.I would recommend watching this movie.
